The Wolf Creek Tavern


Josephine County Historical Society Passport To History - Wolf Creek Inn

Mom always enjoyed talking about her birthplace, the Wolf Creek Tavern in Wolf Creek, Oregon. Now known as the Wolf Creek Inn, it was a family-owned business in Mom's time and is now on the National Register of Historic Places.

Mom has been reported as saying the "outhouses" were not used in the evening; the guests used the supplied "chamberpots." The reason why no one dared venture out: wolves! While the evening meal for the Tavern's guests was prepared, the wolves started gathering on the lawns.
