The McConnell Mansion Historic House Museum is a historic house in Moscow, Idaho. It was built in 1886 for William J. McConnell, who served as the third governor of Idaho from 1893 to 1897. [2] McConnell and his family, including Mary "Mamie" McConnell Borah, lived in the house until 1897. It was sold out of the McConnell family in 1901 to the Adair Family. [2]

William Adair, his wife Losina, and their daughters Lula, Ione "Pinky," Bernadine, and Margorie all lived in the house until the girls left the nest. Once their daughters were grown, the Adairs rented the rooms to boarders. One such boarder was Dr. Frederic Cross Church, who moved into the house in 1920. In 1935 the Adairs sold the house to the Jackson family. The Jacksons continued to rent rooms to boarders as the Adairs did. The Jacksons only lived in the house a short time before selling the property to Dr. Church in 1940. Dr. Church was a professor at the University of Idaho and liked to rent available rooms at the house to students. He was the last private owner of the McConnell Mansion and bequeathed the house to Latah County upon his death in 1966.

Since 1968, the Latah County Historical Society has managed the McConnell Mansion on behalf of Latah County. The house opened as a museum in 1970.

The building was designed in the Stick/Eastlake architectural style. [2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since November 21, 1974. [1]

Bethany Memorial Chapel was built by Norwegian homesteaders who settled in the Big Bear Ridge area north of Kendrick in rural Latah County, Idaho. Norwegians who had settled in the area met at the home of Edward Dahl on July 21, 1902, for the purpose of organizing a Lutheran church in the area. In late July 1902, plans were prepared for the building, which was to be constructed on one-half acre of land promised by Edward Jones. However, Jones had sold his land to Halvor Nelson, who then added another one-half acre to the property. Construction of the Carpenter Gothic building began in 1905 and was completed, inside and out, in 1908. Although the interior of the building had not yet been completed, the first service in the church took place on December 26, 1905, when Halvor Lien married Hilda Slind. The pews, altar railing, and pulpit were carved by Eric Leien, a member of the congregation. It was originally named the Evangelical Lutheran Church, Bethany Congregation of Kendrick. There is no longer an active congregation holding services, but the church and cemetery are maintained by community members.

The Meeker Mansion Museum is a historic house in Puyallup, Washington, United States. It is the second of two homes in the city which were resided in by Oregon Trail pioneer Ezra Meeker, the first one being a cabin on the homestead claim which Meeker purchased from Jerry Stilly in 1862. This was a one-room, 8 by 16 feet square cabin to which Meeker added a second room, doubling its size. After the move to the mansion, Meeker donated the cabin site to the city, which they turned into Pioneer Park. The wooden cabin disappeared over time. Several steel and concrete pillars outline the dimensions of the original cabin. The Baltic ivy vine, originally planted by Eliza Jane Meeker and her daughter Ella meeker (Templeton), now covers the pillars where the original cabin once stood. A statue of Ezra Meeker was placed in the park and dedicated on September 14, 1926.
