Joseph

Built around a late-19th-century settlement in Oregon’s Wallowa Valley, Joseph grew into a small town known today for its arts community and access to mountain country. The town lies beneath the Wallowa Mountains, while glacial Wallowa Lake sits just south of its center. Joseph takes its name from Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce, whose Wallowa homeland remains central to the region’s history. Bronze foundries and public sculpture give downtown a distinctive character, and the annual Chief Joseph Days rodeo is a longstanding local tradition. Trails, the lake, and the Wallowa Lake Tramway draw people outward into the surrounding terrain.
