Lexington, OR

united states

Lexington is a tiny farming town in Oregon's wheat country, about 30 miles southeast of Heppner via Highway 74. Most visitors arrive from Interstate 84 through Boardman, then follow Highway 74 southeast for 45 miles through rolling wheat fields and ranch land. The town sits in high desert country with hot summers and cold winters, surrounded by golden grain fields that stretch to distant ridgelines. The grain elevator dominates the skyline, serving as both landmark and symbol of Lexington's agricultural heritage.
