Pendleton Underground Tours

Pendleton Underground Tours is a place where culture is kept, history is told, and legends live on. We are dedicated to promote and preserve the history and culture of Pendleton, maintain a quality tour, and promote tourism in Pendleton and surrounding areas. P.U.T. accomplished this in 2022 by bringing approximately 15,652 visitors to the area from all 50 states and several other countries. This includes four cruise ships the American Pride, American Empress, American Queen, and Song that bus up to 80 people into Pendleton 4 times a week from March to November. We also take through several school groups and other private bus tours. We work closely with the Chamber of Commerce, Pendleton Downtown Association, and other tourist committees to continuously increase the number of people visiting Pendleton. We supported other non-profits by giving out over 100 tour gift certificates throughout the year. In May of 2022 we held our annual fundraiser Comes to Life, which incorporates 75 live actors/volunteers. This event brings in over 500 people in one day. During this event we work with other local businesses by incorporating and promoting their products into the tour. We held 2 Murder Mystery fundraisers and a Drag Show hosting 50 people per event. We continued our Get Wild in Pendleton event through the summer where we opened the Shamrock Cardroom Bar each Saturday and conducted adult only evening tours which sold out each time.
