Idyllic Pioneer Cabin at Pioneer Park is Open
Memorial Day through Labor Day
(May 31 - Sept. 6)
The original Jasper Wright log cabin was located about 22 miles
east of Prineville. It was a 1 1/2 story home with a 3 bedroom loft and 2
bedrooms on the lower level. A dining room and kitchen were located on
the back side of the building (these may have been added later as the
family grew, for they were of ordinary lumber). The cabin was
dismantled and moved into the Pioneer Park and then opened as a
museum on July 1, 1960.

William Jasper Wright and Annie Laura Howes were married September
25, 1878 and moved to the Upper Ochoco Valley in 1879. Four of the
Wright children were born here*, the midwife being the neighbor, Mrs.
Ida Blevins.

Children of Annie & Jasper Wright: Claude (1879-1911), Maude*
(1882-1958), Ruth* (1884-1974), Archie* (1891-1984), Dona*
(1894-1979.
