Pendleton, OR
Pendleton Woolen Mills in Pendleton, Oregon, was established in 1909 when the Bishop family acquired an idle wool scouring plant and has operated continuously since. The mill has produced a variety of wool products, from blankets for Native American tribes to men’s shirts and women’s sportswear, and it expanded to include weaving and finishing facilities. Visitors can observe traditional hand‑loom weaving, modern textile manufacturing processes, and the historical development of the company’s product lines within the original mill building.
