The Bigelow House, built by 1860 by Daniel S. and Ann Elizabeth White Bigelow, Oregon Trail pioneers of 1851, is a fine example of the Carpenter Gothic style and is listed on the National, State, and Olympia Registers of Historic Places, as well as the National Votes for Women Trail. The house features authentic furnishings and artifacts of the Bigelow family, who lived in the house for more than 140 years. The decor emphasizes the Territorial Period of Washington.
