The Bakers chose the area, now known as Carver, for their 503-acre Donation Land Claim due to a basalt rock formation to the west of the cabin. Horace Baker was a stone mason by trade and being a very enterprising man he could envision this area as one of great promise. Soon Horace Baker was very busy quarrying rock from this area.
The Pioneer Church at the Baker Cabin Historical Site will bring to your wedding the feeling and permanence of history. With the charm of a woodland Chapel, the Pioneer Church is available weekends and weekdays for weddings, rehearsals, renewals of vows, christenings, and memorials. Comfortable seating for up to eighty guests in a white interior richly appointed with wood and classic stained glass windows.
The Church is rented in two hour increments. There is a one hour cleaning period between events. Florists, photographers, and musicians have access only during your rental period. Use of the fragile antique pump organ will be limited to referral organists, or others by approval only. The piano is available for anyone to use.

My family & I spent a weekend looking into local history around the Barlow Trail. This was a great stop. I wish the home had been open so we could see inside, but the set-up of the homestead was interesting to picture. It would be nice to stop here when there are people available to explain the historym

For a small wedding, this venue is romantically engaging! The grounds are perfect for picture taking and picknicking, and the chapel's historical character makes you feel like you've traveled back in time. There isn't air conditioning so if you plan to use the pioneer church, pick a day that isn't roasting and keep your guest list fairly short. I highly recommend this location for a chapter in your happily-ever-after story.
