Frenchglen is the center of the Peter French ranch. Peter French was a huge cattle rancher in the late 1800s. Peter French ran his cattle on much of Southern Oregon's rangeland and also created much of the meadow land around Frenchglen. Peter French also had the built to break his huge string of horses. Dick Jenkins offers tours of both the Steens and of the Roundbarn. Another point of interest is the Diamond Craters. The craters are located near the small community of Diamond.

Throughout the county are old Indian camps where numerous artifacts may be found, of course abserve these but don't take them with you (if caught you can receive prison time).
