Taylor Creek Miner's Cabin - Kerby, OR - Relocated Structures on Waymarking.com

Located at the Kerbyville Museum is a relocated former miner's cabin. I was able to gather historic info on this cabin from the National Register of Historic Places Nomination Form from the nearby Noucke House from 1880. The Form tells us:

The Taylor Creek Miner's Cabin was built in 1933 and moved to the museum in 1981. Built on the "Keep Off" mining claim on Taylor Creek, this shingle-clad wood-frame cabin was relocated to its present site at the Museum in 1981 with assistance from the U. S. Navy Seabees. "The cabin is one of the last that truly reflects the mining era [and] was built by a miner using nearby incense cedar during the Great Depression in 1933." (Courier, 23-Nov-1981))

The Original Location coordinates are at the middle portion of Taylor Creek.
