Union blends historic character with easy access to big landscapes and everyday conveniences. Stately Victorian-era homes and brick storefronts reflect a rich past, while its location within Union County keeps you close to services in La Grande and day trips to Baker City. Weekend plans come easily with trail networks and alpine vistas in the nearby Wallowa-Whitman National Forest, and Catherine Creek offers peaceful waterside escapes and a beloved state park for picnics and camping.
Local culture runs deep. Explore regional stories at the well-curated Union County Museum, book a tee time with mountain views at Buffalo Peak Golf Course, and circle early June for the Eastern Oregon Livestock Show, a century-old showcase of rodeo and youth agriculture. For relaxation, a short drive brings you to the restored landmark and therapeutic waters of The Lodge at Hot Lake Springs.
Families appreciate strong K–12 options in the community-focused Union School District, known for small class sizes, competitive athletics, and robust FFA programs tied to the local ag economy. Higher education, arts, and lectures are just up the road at Eastern Oregon University, expanding opportunities without sacrificing small-town ease.
