Moro is the county seat of Sherman County, a small city with big-sky horizons, golden wheat fields, and a pace that rewards knowing your neighbors. Weekends bring easy escapes: hike the basalt-rimmed trails at Cottonwood Canyon State Park, fish the Wild and Scenic John Day River, or chase rapids near Maupin; when you need a wider selection of shops and healthcare, head to The Dalles. Local history shines at the award-winning Sherman County Historical Museum, where hands-on exhibits tell the story of dryland farming, homesteads, and rail-era growth.
Education is centered at Sherman County School, a modern K–12 campus known for small class sizes, FFA programs, and spirited Huskies athletics. Community traditions are a point of pride—the Sherman County Fair packs in 4-H showings, rodeo action, and live music each August—while year-round services from the county make life straightforward for residents and newcomers alike. With open skies, quick highway access on US‑97, and trailheads and river launches just down the road, living here balances quiet streets with real adventure close at hand. If you’re considering a move, or planning to list, Agent Pronto can quickly match you with a proven local agent who knows the market and the community.
