Heppner is
the heart of Irish country! With a
20-ft shamrock smack in the middle of town, it
is hard to miss our community's Irish
heritage, made even more evident during
our annual St. Patrick's Day "A Wee Bit
O'Ireland" celebration. This is where
rural is for real!
Heppner is
self sufficient and gives an impression of
true Americana. We are as familiar as a
Norman Rockwell painting and as
comfortable as Grandma's kitchen. Step
back in time at the Morrow County Museum
and the Morrow County Agriculture Museum
where artifacts recreate the lives and
activities of the settlers. Swing by the
Morrow County Courthouse, which was built
in 1902 of beautiful blue basalt stone
quarried from nearby Balm Fork Road.
Visit the
outdoor exhibit about the flood that
nearly devastated the entire town in
1903. Many of the town's residents lost
many loved ones in this great tragedy. If
your interest lies in historic homes, take
a Volkswalk tour of Heppner's beautiful
historic houses. Shopping in Heppner
includes a variety of offerings from
lattes to antiques. When the Main Street
sidewalks were recently reconstructed,
artifacts including old coins and gun
shells from famous shoot-outs were
discovered.
