Waynoka Station Update: Log Cabin...

"The restoration of the pioneer log cabin has been completed at Waynoka Station. The cabin was dismantled and moved to town from near the Cimarron River in present-day Major County, Oklahoma. The three-room log house was built more than 100 years ago by Joseph Barnett. Furnishings are being added to the cabin. The wood-burning Home Comfort range that has been placed in the cabin's kitchen was originally owned by Mrs. John Corbin (May Lappin) of the Galena community, southeast of Waynoka. May Lappin staked a claim in the Cherokee Strip in 1893, having participated with her father in the 'Run', which was said to have been the greatest land run in the history of the world. An Open House for the log house (cabin) will be announced soon." -- Sandie Olson, Waynoka Historical Society
