The Sumpter Valley Railroad is celebrating its 50th Anniversary, and this is shaping up to be one of the biggest events of the summer!
From June 12–21, history will come alive with steam train excursions, live music, vendors, special events, and plenty of opportunities to experience the rich railroad and gold mining heritage that helped build our region.
Whether you're a train enthusiast, history buff, music lover, or just looking for a fun family getaway, this celebration has something for everyone. Imagine spending the day riding behind a historic steam locomotive, exploring the area’s fascinating past, enjoying live music, browsing vendors, and then returning to your campsite under the beautiful Eastern Oregon sky.
The live music lineup at McEwen Depot looks fantastic, and we're excited to see so many people coming together to celebrate 50 years of railroad preservation and community spirit.

If you're planning to attend, don't wait too long! We only have a LIMITED number of campsites remaining at Sumpter RV Park for the celebration weekends.
