DREDGE SUPERINTENDENT'S HOUSE The Sumpter Valley Gold Dredge Superintendant's House is located on Mill St. in downtown Sumpter, Oregon, next to the Sumpter Municipal Museum. This beautiful home was built in 1915 and after being owned by various private residents in Sumpter, The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department has recently acquired the home which is now on the National Registry of Historic Places with plans of restoration and preserevation. Unfortunately, most of the historic home was modernized and will require extensive work to restore it to original condition. To aid in the restoration process, the OPRD is asking local residents, past and present, for any information, photos, etc. that will provide a more historically-correct picture of what the house looked like. Visitors to the State Park in Sumpter have been fortunate enough to take a tour of the Superintendant's House as a bonus to visiting the Dredge. Park staff have been working hard to find period-correct furniture for the house as well as performing some restorative work on the house itself. This restoration project has gotten a slow start due to lack of funds but our park staff and volunteers are still confident and quite excited! Restoration work is still in its infancy, so visitation is limited with plans to open fully as soon as possible. For now, visitors may take a short walk through the park from the Dredge to visit the Superintendant's House for a few hours on Saturday and Sundays and during the Sumpter Flea Markets.
