Abigail
Scott Duniway arrived in Oregon in 1852
with her father and eight surviving siblings. Her mother
and a baby brother died during the difficult journey on
the wagon train. She became known as the “Grand Old
Lady of Oregon” in her last years. She died in 1915,
a few days before her eighty-first birthday. She was a suffragette
and she lived long enough to see women vote in Oregon.
Duniway Park and Duniway Schools of Portland
and McMinnville honor her memory. Her name is inscribed
on a bronze plaque in the League of Women Voters’
Hall of Fame, and many books about woman’s rights
describe her achievements. In World War II, a large landing
craft was named for her.
A warm and welcoming room decorated in lovely shades of
butterscotch, red and taupe, with a comfortable queen bed
and a cozy twin bed, offers a restful night’s sleep.
The room’s relaxing comfort, along with the wonderful
views of the hillsides and Rogue Valley, make it easy to
feel at home. Children 10 years and older are welcome to
stay in this room with an adult. The private bath has a
full tub and shower. Complimentary beverages and snacks
are available 24 hrs/day. Abigail’s is an environmentally
friendly inn and as such we provide a daily "tidy."
Abigail’s is a smoke-free property.
For the comfort of all guests we do not accommodate pets
