Built in 1860, the Lucy House is one of the few original houses still existing on the Barlow Road.  Foster's oldest daughter, Lucy, and her husband, Josiah Burnett, lived in southern Oregon where Josiah was a surveyor.  Foster wrote them that he would give them a "goodly portion of land" to build a house if they would come "home" to the Foster farm site.  Lucy and Josiah agreed. They built their home (for $199!) and lived there until Lucy's death in 1878.  The couple had five children and descendants of Lucy and Josiah still live in the Eagle Creek and Estacada area today. 

Located across the street from the Philip Foster National Historic Site, the Lucy House has been in continuous use as a private residence for over 140 years.

This important link to our area's rich local heritage has been acquired by the Jacknife-Zion-Horseheaven (JZH) Historical Society to be preserved and restored for future generations to enjoy.  The restoration project will be an extensive undertaking and will include restoring the home its original.
