Geocache Description:


Jackson House
Now a museum, Jackson House is located just south of Marys Corner on what was once called the Highland Prairie and Jackson Prairie. It was built by John Robinson Jackson, who immigrated to the U.S. from Yorkshire, England. He lived first in Missouri, then came to Oregon by way of the Oregon Trail in 1844. In 1845, he settled in Lewis County. He was the first county sheriff, the first county assessor, and first tax collector. The first term of county court was held at his house in 1845 and hence Jackson House was the first county seat of Lewis County, until it was moved to Claquato in 1852 (Hunt and Kaylor, p. 450). His home was also the site of the first federal court in Washington Territory on Jan. 1, 1854. In addition, Jackson was the first and only postmaster of Highland, from April 18, 1854 to Dec. 5, 1864
