Statement of Significance

Colonel George Wright camped in the area of Bassett Springs during 1858.  The Bassett log cabin was built during the late 1800s and was moved across the road to its present site and used as a blacksmith's shop.  The log barn located next to the cabin was built between 1900 and 1903 by the Bassett family.  Logs for both the barn and cabin were taken from surrounding fields.  In 1976, Washington State prepared a bicentennial report on the property with an audio interview by Rita Owens.  The Bassett Log Cabin is a one-story building made of notched logs, while the barn is post and pin log construction.
