In A Landscape: Cant Ranch at John Day Fossil Beds National Monument

Join us for IN A LANDSCAPE at the Cant Ranch Historic District within John Day Fossil Beds National Monument in Dayville, Oregon. Once a working sheep ranch along the banks of the John Day River, this preserved landscape invites you into a quieter moment in time—where open fields, historic buildings, and deep geologic history come together.

The concert takes place on the lawn beside the farmhouse, where mature trees offer welcome shade and space to settle in with friends. The surrounding landscape reflects millions of years of geologic change, visible in the fossil beds throughout the monument.

This event takes place on the ancestral and occupied homeland of the Umatilla, Northern Paiute, Tenino, Cayuse, and other Indigenous peoples.
