John Day Fossil Beds National Monument - Christina's Cabin

Constructed circa 1932, Christina’s Cabin was constructed as a homestead cabin for James and Elizabeth's daughter Christina, who hoped to "prove up" the claim and add the land to the Cant Ranch. The cabin was not winterized and Christina lived in the cabin only during the warmer months of the year. It was a one-room cabin with a bed, cupboards, dishes, and other household items.

Although the claim was never filed, the cabin continued to be used, usually for storage.The cabin was stabilized between 1983 and 1985, restored in 1986, and rehabilitated in 2005. Today, it is used for interpretive purposes.
