This little history museum in Applegate along State Hwy 238 hasn't been open for some time, but the hand-hewn log cabin itself has long held a place in local history. It was the original Applegate Store, built in the 1870s by local rancher Bill Pernoll, who 15 years earlier fought with the militia in 1850s Indian wars. It was moved to this site in the 1990s to tell the story of the Upper Applegate Valley, a story of gold and blood. When gold was discovered along the Applegate and its tributaries in the early 1850s, prospectors poured in from the played-out mines in Northern California and inevitably clashed with the local band of the Rogues under Chief John.
