Historical Significance:

An Oregon log cabin that was built by OSSDAR to honor pioneer mothers of Oregon along the banks of the Willamette River in what is now Champoeg Heritage State Park in 1929. This cabin stands as a museum and memorial dedicated to the many Pioneer Women that braved the Oregon Trail. The Cabin opened to the public in 1931 by the Oregon State Society Daughters of the American Revolutionand and was  to be a part of a scenic river by-way along with Oregon State Park. Unfortuntately, this by-way never came to fruition due to the Great Drepression. This log cabin is a romantic replica of a cabin built after the flood of 1861 by the George Aplin Family, about four ties the size of a cabin cabin of the period. With the help of many donations it was possible to relocate the log cabin away from the edge of the Willamette River to a safe location in the Newell Pioneer Village in 2013. The Pioneer Mother's Memorial Cabin reopened to the public in 2015.
