 Oregon Mining Districts 

We support miners and mining!  One of your primary class locations includes the Sumpter, Oregon gold mining district.  In 1862 placer gold was found in Craker Creek starting a gold rush that continues today.  This area looks and feels like the real old west.  Sounded by dirt roads, log cabins and miner saloons.  The town includes a steam locomotive and a bucket dredge display through the Oregon State Parks.  http://historicsumpter.com/

This scenic and historical area is located about a 35 minute drive from Baker City, Oregon or 2 hours 45 minutes from the Boise, Idaho International Airport.  Our classroom and hotel there is the former historic hospital on the hill, the Sumpter Bed and Breakfast.  http://www.sumpterbb.com/

 

Another one of our location is in the Bohemia gold mining district.  In 1858 placer gold was found in Sharps Creek starting a gold rush that continues today.  With four-wheel drive roads, lots of old mine tunnels and ghost town buildings, this area is perfect for any adventurer.  http://www.oregongold.net/category/oregon-gold/lane-county-gold-oregon-gold/bohemia-mining-district-lane-county-gold-oregon-gold-oregon-gold/
