History of the white man in the Rogue River canyon dates back to the late 1860's. The Whisky Creek Cabin is one of the few remaining relics of the Rogue River gold rush era. The others have fallen victim to vandalism and the ravages of time. The cabin and surrounding area remains isolated and inaccessible except by river or trail, much like it was when early pioneers first inhabited the area.
In 1973, the Bureau of Land Management purchased the deed to the cabin. Today, Whisky Creek Cabin is on the National Register of Historic Places. It is the oldest known standing mining cabin in the remote lower Rogue River canyon.
Browse around and reflect on the rugged way of life that has long since vanished from this area; but please respect this historic site. Earlier this summer, we just happened to photograph two smiling Whitewater Warehouse clients enjoying their visit to this "living museum."
