The largest town along US-26 between Baker City and Prineville is charmless
JOHN DAY
, which would be easily missable if it weren't the unexpected home of one of Oregon's key historical sights. The fascinating
Kam Wah Chung & Co. Museum
(May-Oct Mon-Thurs 9am-noon & 1-5pm, Sat & Sun 1-5pm; $3;
) was once the home, opium den and general store of famed Chinese herbalist Ing Hay, whose apothecary wares - five hundred herbs, dried lizard, bear claw, bottle of rattlesnakes - have been preserved and are still on display. Providing one of the truly authentic glimpses of Oregon's pioneer history, the museum is well worth a look if you're in the area.
