Walking along the main street of Joseph you will find a blend of the Old West with cobbled sidewalks, Western storefronts and real cowboys walking past modern, beautiful bronze sculptures, galleries and shops.
Joseph is in the middle of Cow Country, and you will find grass and hay crops as well as cattle, horse and sheep operations.
You might see a real working cowboy ride into town, tie his horse to a hitching post or tree, then saunter into a local restaurant to have lunch with friends, or you could discover that you are in one of our infrequent traffic jams when you find yourself in the middle of a cattle drive down one of our county roads.
Do you want more information on Joseph Oregon History and Wallowa County? You can spend the afternoon at the Wallowa County Museum on Main Street, Joseph. They have many photographs and exhibits to bring the past alive.
