Pulpit Rock (The Dalles, Oregon)

Pulpit Rock is a rock about 12 feet (3.7 m) tall located in The Dalles, Oregon, United States. Prior to Euro-American settlement the rock was carved by natural elements in an open area on a slight slope. Historically the rock was located near the Methodist Mission's Wascopam Mission. The missionaries were known to preach to the local Native Americans during the 1830s and 1840s from this rock. The rock currently stands in the intersection of 12th and Court streets, directly south of The Dalles-Wahtonka High School, with a historical marker. The city kept the rock at its location in the middle of a street due to history surrounding the rock. A mural on a building in downtown The Dalles features the rock prior to the development of the current roads and neighborhood around it.
