The Hughes House Museum has served as a fixture in the town of St. Maries since the 1900s. Constructed in 1902, the log cabin initially housed the St. Maries Men’s Club and then became a doctor’s office just four years later. In the early 1920s, it went into foreclosure and subsequently began dilapidating. A few years later, it was purchased by Raleigh Hughes who restored it to its former glory. After nearly 65 years, the home was sold to the St. Maries’ Centennial Committee, who turned the home into a museum showcasing life in town.
