Today we're exploring Harrington, Washington, a small town in Lincoln County with deep railroad roots, a rich agricultural heritage, and some of the best-preserved historic buildings in Eastern Washington.
Founded in the 1880s and named after California banker W.P. Harrington, the town grew rapidly with the arrival of the railroad. By 1910, Harrington had become an important shipping center for wheat, livestock, and supplies throughout the Big Bend region.
In this walking tour, we'll explore the historic downtown, visit the famous Harrington Bank Block and Opera House, take a look at the Lincoln Hotel and Electric Hotel, learn about the town's connection to the National UFO Reporting Center, and do a little train spotting along the way.
If you enjoy small-town history, railroad towns, forgotten places, and Eastern Washington travel, this is a town you'll want to add to your list.
