Historic Oregon Trail.

First known as Lee's Encampment,
from establishment of a troop
camp by Major H.A.G. Lee in 1844,
A.B. and Harvey Meacham operated
famous "Mountain House" here, which
gave the town its present name.
In later years a famous railroad
eating house, "The Log Cabin," became
nationally known under the
supervision of Grandma Munra, a
well known pioneer figure. On July 3,
1923, Meacham was the capitol of
the United States when President
Warren G. Harding stopped for a
day and participated in the exercises
commemorating the eightieth
anniversary of the covered wagon
migration of 1843.
