The Anderson Homestead log buildings are located just south of the Fort Dalles Museum in The Dalles, Oregon. The buildings are excellent examples of Swedish construction from the late nineteenth centuries. The buildings were originally part of the Swedish immigrant settlement on Pleasant Ridge, south of The Dalles. The house has been restored to how it may have been in 1900-1920. Shown below are photographs of the barn.
