This wonderful old cabin is not far from us at the Frenchtown exit off Hwy 12. The structure itself is beautiful and the history is rich.

Widely believed to be the oldest standing cabin in the Pacific Northwest - The Prince's Cabin in Washington state❤️

Built in 1837: Hudson's Bay Company traders built the cabin for a Cayuse leader known historically as "the Prince"

Documented in 1844: Narcissa Whitman mentioned the structure in a missionary letter from January 1844 as "the Prince's house up the river" when an immigrant family moved there

Historic Relocation: The cabin was eventually acquired by the Smith family in 1888 and later moved to its current preservation site at the Frenchtown Historic Site near Walla Walla, Washington

The Backstory: In 1834, "The Prince" and other Cayuse leaders brutally beat Pierre Pambrun, the head trader of the Hudson’s Bay Company, over a dispute regarding fur and horse prices

The Peace Offering: The company completely cut off trade with the tribe for three years. To settle the massive feud, Pambrun custom-built and gifted this cabin (and another for a chief) in 1837 as a peace offering

Dimensions: The structure is a 1.5-story layout measuring exactly 16 feet by 24 feet.

No Metal Nails: The Ponderosa pine logs were meticulously hand-hewn into squared shapes using angled dovetail corners and held together tightly by cheville (wooden dowel) pins.

The "Grenier": It features a distinct upper attic space known in French-Canadian culture as a grenier

Not Royal: "The Prince" was not royalty; the phrase was a common fur-trade slang term for a head trader's or chief's younger brother.

The Real Identity: The Prince was actually the younger brother of Hiyumtipin, the headman of the local Cayuse village

Our garden is so abundant. I'm always amazed in August and September at how much food this patch of land provides. We're thankful to have it.
