In the photo to the right of the cabin, the ground slopes down becoming the south bank of the Cimarron River. On the horizon is the north bank of the Cimarron River and just over the horizon is Waynoka, Oklahoma where the cabin now sits in its new found splender.

Log Cabin North View Original Site
The log house was the home of the Joseph and Wealthy Ann Barnett family. The Barnetts lived there from near the turn of the century at least until Mr. Barnett's death in 1922. Family history says that Mr. Barnett built a log house from cedar logs which he drug from the Cimarron River, squared and assembled. The Barnetts had six children: Jim, Clyde, Carl, Ida, Daisy and Hannah. The Martin/Barnett family history is recounted in Pioneer Footprints Across Woods County. The east wall and northeast corner of the cabin are shown in this photo to the left.

Winter on the Cimarron
This early photograph shows the front door and north-most window of the eastern exposure of the log cabin after a beautiful snowfall. Directly north of the house is the barn, some livestock and the windmill. The well to the north and the cedar tree in front of the house are possibly still a part of the lanscape today.
