This
was
the
first
home
built
in
Washington
that
was
not
a
log
cabin.
It
was
built
by
Harvard
alum,
Daniel
Bigelow
around
1852
after
he
arrived
in
the
area
by
crossing
the
Oregon
Trail.
After
he
married,
he
and
his
wife
had
8
children
and
hosted
a
few
important
historical
figures
such
as
Susan
B.
Anthony.
Mrs.
Bigelow
was
very
active
in
the
women's
suffrage
movement.
The
house
was
added
onto
during
the
several
years
it
remained
in
the
Bigelow
family
or
1994.
It
became
a
state
house
museum
shortly
before
that
even
when
the
last
of
the
family
was
living
there.
Cheryl,
our
docent,
was
extremely
knowledgeable
and
thorough.
The
tour
lasts
about
an
hour
and
is
well
worth
the
time.
They
only
ask
for
donations;
there
is
no
set
entrance
fee.
