Welcome to the Baker Cabin and Pioneer Church
Located on the original site of a 19th-century donation land claim granted to Western pioneers Horace Baker and his wife Jane Hattan Baker, the 4-acre park provides an educational experience for the whole family. The picturesque woodland setting features two historic buildings: the original log cabin dating back to 1856 and a pioneer church from 1895 relocated to this location in 1967.
