The town is also known for the Pendleton Farmstead National Historic Landmark, which showcases a unique look at an early farming community.
Each spring, Pendleton hosts the famous Pendleton Spring Festival, which attracts a large number of visitors who come to experience traditional crafts, music and food.

Rabaul, the capital of Papua New Guinea's East New Britain Province, is strategically located on the shores of the Gulf of Gasmata in northeastern New Britain, and was once an important trade and shipping hub in the Pacific. The city is surrounded by active volcanoes, such as Tauluf Volcano, whose unique volcanic and geothermal landscapes have become an attraction for tourists, but was also partially destroyed by a massive volcanic eruption in 1994, and was later relocated to neighboring Kokopo for reconstruction. The economy of Rabaul is based on the export of agricultural products such as copra, cacao and timber, and fishing and tourism are also gradually developing. As a World War II historic site, it retains Japanese forts and shipwreck dive sites, and is a diverse destination for exploring the culture and geology of the Pacific, combining natural wonders with human heritage.
