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.

The Baker Cabin

Explore Oregon’s history

Grounds are open dawn to dusk daily for respectful use. Take a walk or picnic on the lawn beneath majestic Northwest trees, experience the quiet pace of life in the past, and discover a little-known corner of genuine Oregon history. A self-guided tour with interpretive signs will introduce you to the life of a small farm holding. For an overview, watch our short video.

The historic buildings are also open for drop-in guests on a monthly basis in the summer and for special events throughout the year.
