Welcome to the Baker Cabin Historical Site. This is one panel of many that are spaced throughout the site. You are invited to see them all. The Baker Cabin Historical Society is the present day organization founded from the Old Timers Association of Carver. The Society is an all volunteer organization with the mission to preserve, protect, and make available to the public the history of the Baker family and the Carver area. Funds for the operation of this site come mainly from the rental of the Pioneer Church and grounds for events. Donations and memberships contribute a fair share. Bequests and Eagle Scout Projects have provided for upgrades and maintenance of the buildings. Grants from the Cultural Trust and Tourism Development Council among others have been beneficial. Please contact the Society if you are interested in assisting in the preserving this important historical site.
The Donation Land Act passed in 1850, guaranteed settlers in Oregon 320 acres of public land, if they had settled before December 1, 1850. Horace and Jane filed claim to 640 acres of land. Subsequent petitions and affidavits attest to the fact that the 320 acres previously claimed by Jane, were still vacant (unclaimed by any other), and that she and Horace had continuously resided upon and cultivated the said tract of land. Several settlers, including



Phillip Foster, who were queried of their possible interest in those 320 acres, disavowed any such interest.
When the final papers were signed on July 24, 1877, granting the Donation to Claim No. 68 by Certificate No. 4967, the boundaries were described and it was designated "the East half to the said Horace Baker, and the West half to his wife, the said Jane Baker."
Look for the carved "X" in the stone behind you which is one of the original boundary markers from which a large section of countryside to the south and east was laid out. To this day, much of the title records refer to this location and reference.
