Newport is the perfect place to base your exploration of Pend Oreille County and Northern Idaho.

Come stay a month, a week or a day, you'll find yourself wanting to come back!

When you arrive, be sure & stop by our Chamber's Visitor Information Center at the south end of Washington Ave in Centennial Plaza, right next to the "Big Wheel" (an 83,000 pound steam engine ~~ you can't miss it ~~ see the above picture)!

While at Centennial Plaza, the wonderful folks at the Pend Oreille County Historical Museum would welcome a visit from you. They have EXCELLENT displays & artifacts of early life in the county.

A short walk across the street from the chamber office will take you to the oldest building in the city ~ Kelley's ~ 1894. The gorgeous bar sailed around the Horn to San Francisco and then was transported by wagon train to Newport.

There are many historical buildings in town. They are listed on the "Walking Tour" which is available at the visitor center.
