The Little Log Church Museum at the corner of West 3rd and Pontiac streets was built in the late 1920s by community volunteers using local timber hauled down the Yachats River. It was completed and dedicated in 1930. It was served by ministers from the Oregon Conference of the Evangelical Church, and later by pastors from the Presbyterian Church. When the congregation grew too large for the little building, members built a new church a few blocks away, and the Little Log Church and property was sold to the Oregon Historical Society on the condition it be maintained as a museum.
It became a museum in 1970 and was deeded to the City of Yachats in 1986. The Little Log Church Museum houses photographs of the area, settler exhibits, and works by former resident artists and authors. The Little Log Church Museum is operated by volunteers on behalf of the City of Yachats for citizens and visitors alike.
The Little Log Church Museum is currently closed to the public as repairs are being made.
In conjunction with the Friends of the Little Log Church and Museum 501(c)3 board, the City is remodeling the Little Log Church Museum. The current building has extensive dry rot and an unstable foundation. The Friends of the Little Log Church Museum helped to raise funds for the remodel.
The Friends of the Little Log Church Museum, a 501(c)(3) non-profit oversight and fundraising board, have persevered for over 8 years so that the restoration project would become an actuality. They are delighted with the skilled expertise and care of the restoration crew. Donations may be sent to PO Box 712 Yachats, OR 97498.
