The Chetco Valley Historical Society Museum in Brookings-Harbor, Oregon
The museum is the oldest standing house in the area. The property on which it stands was originally a land grant to early pioneer Robert Johnson, who sold it to Harrison Blake in 1867. Blake and his wife , Mary (Geisel) operated a trading post and way station here.
Blake was Curry County's first deputy sheriff in 1864 and the first representative from the area to the state legislature in 1874.
He and Mary lived on the property until Blake's death in 1806. Mary sold the ranch to the Pedrioli Brothers in 1916 and lived elsewhere until her death in 1933.
The Stanley Colegrove family purchased the ranch in 1953 and donated the old house, built before Abraham Lincoln was president, and the surrounding grounds to the Chetco Valley Historical Society in 1970.
