Here's pictures of our 2014 visit to
Friend, Oregon.
Friend, Oregon is actually very easy to find. SR 197 South of Dufur, right onto
Dufur Gap Road, Right onto Friend Road. All on paved road in very good condition
and well signed.
Friend is an unincorporated community in Wasco County in the U.S. state of
Oregon. Considered a ghost town, little remains of the community except the Friend
Store, a one-room schoolhouse, and a cemetery.
Friend was named after George J. Friend. The first post office in the community,
established in 1903, was on his homestead.
Friend was the end of the line on the Great Southern Railroad. The line was built in
1908 from Dufur, which connected to The Dalles. The depot was closed and service
ended on January 5, 1928; the line was abandoned in 1935. Few signs of the track
still exist.
