- Join me as I take you on a tour of 6 historic ghost towns in Oregon. Each video will feature a tour of the town, maps to each location, and useful tips for a trip to visit.
In Part 2 we visit the historic ghost town of Moro, Oregon. As of 2022, Moro’s population is approximately 335. Moro was established in 1899 but feel into decline when the Columbia Southern Railroad reduced (and removed) its service through the town. The Main Street through town is lined with empty historic buildings.

According to the State of Oregon: sos.oregon.gov/
“Ghost towns defy easy explanation.”
What is a Ghost Town?
1. Has a history of decline and loss.
2. Is of historic interest.
3. Can be “home to living people - thousands of them, even.” But not enough to “fill all offices provided for under its charter.”
Thank you for watching! Which ghost towns would you like me to explore next?
Thanks for another awesome video! Fellow Oregonian here, wishing you the best!
You're so welcome - thank you for watching!
Hello your tours of these Ghost towns are very fascinating but sad for the people that still live there hard to get a couple dozen eggs or a gal of milk .When I was growing up on a dairy farm in Northwest Washington state we got groceries every 2 or 3 weeks Thank you for the tag along 🏆❤️🇺🇸🤔
That's so true. There aren't many stores of gas stations nearby, so they have to make quite a trip for necessities, and really have to stock up every time they go out.
Scary video, I was there about 4 years ago and it was about half alive ,yet now looks about on its past breath.
New sub! Liked 👍👏🐸🙏
Thank you so much!
Wow, glad I found this cool channel. Great presentation. Where do you get your info?
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoy them! I have several books about Ghost Towns that I reference, but much of the information comes from Oregon State websites about the towns.
If you are ever in the area let us know. We love giving tours of our hotel renovation project. Also on my channel I have some history of the building ❤
