Lincoln is the name of the
small saw mill town built in the
late 1920's. The grounds held
a company store, a
cookhouse, five family homes,
five cabins for workers and a
bunkhouse which
accommodated additional mill
workers. Since coming to
Lincoln in 1975, we've
converted these buildings to
our unique purposes.

Upon arrival at Lincoln, students choose whether they would like to
live in one of five cabins located on the north side of the road or in
one of the five Bunkhouse apartments on the south side. Each
dwelling sleeps four or five in two or three bedrooms and has its
own kitchen, bath and living room. Every cabin sports a cedar porch
for warm days and a wood stove for cold ones. Students buy and
prepare their own meals and quite often choose to make this a
communal effort.
Students use the cookhouse as a recreational building for ping
pong, pool, music and group meals. The Lincoln Christian Church
also meets there each Sunday morning. The “company store”
houses the library, classroom, computer lab, faculty offices and
laundry facilities.
As much as possible, we try to live an environmentally “sustainable”
lifestyle. We recycle, feed our food scraps to the chickens, and try to
reduce our energy usage. Students help maintain the property. On
Friday afternoons, we gather for a few hours of work – collecting and
chopping firewood, performing grounds keeping duties, and
cleaning the library and cookhouse.
Lincoln is situated in the heart of the forests of the Cascade
Siskiyou National Monument. Students can mountain bike, jog, ride
horses, cross-country ski and hike the network of mountain trails
and logging roads. Our students use a nearby playing field for
games of soccer, football, softball and ultimate frisbee. The Pacific
Crest National Scenic Trail, stretching from Canada to Mexico,
crosses our neighborhood just a few miles down the road.
Ashland, a charming little college town and home of the Oregon
Shakespeare Festival, nestles in the valley about twenty miles away.
That's where we go for groceries, dinners out, movies, concerts,
book stores, and coffee houses.
