I'm a writer and editor at OnlyInYourState, and a contributing writer at Cincinnati Magazine. I love the Great Outdoors and am endlessly awestruck by this beautiful country of ours. Coffee keeps me going, yoga keeps me sane, my kids keep me grounded, and my writing keeps me inspired.
Oregon is no stranger to abandoned places, with the state home to some 200+ ghost towns. In fact, Oregon is believed to have more ghost towns than any other state in the country! But there’s something about an abandoned church that’s much more unsettling than any derelict mining town. Which brings us to today’s adventure: Old Methodist Church, an abandoned church in Sherman County that’s hauntingly, breathtakingly beautiful.
