When planning a summer visit to northeast Oregon, be sure to add the Sumpter Valley Railroad to your travel itinerary. History comes to life aboard the vintage trains as you travel through the heart of gold country in the scenic Sumpter Valley. Running between McEwen and the historic mining town of Sumpter, it’s a guarantee that the whole family will enjoy this relaxing trip back in time without having to leave the comfort of the present.

The Sumpter Valley Railroad is open weekends and major holidays, Memorial Day Weekend through the last weekend in September. CLICK HERE to see our 2013 Calendar. Round trips take just over two hours, including a layover in either McEwen or Sumpter. Please CLICK HERE to see the 2013 schedules and fares for both Regular and Holiday Weekends.
