Wamic, Oregon

The unincorporated community of Wamic is located in west-central Wasco County, east of Tygh Valley on Highway 48. Wamic is located on the route of the Barlow Road, which at one time offered the only overland route across the Cascade Mountains for westbound pioneers following the Oregon Trail. There's an historic museum in Wamic, housed in the former Smock Prairie Schoolhouse.
