Pioneer Church

The Pioneer Church, also known as the Congregational Church, was built in 1895 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. It stands at 125 Columbia Street, a white clapboard building in what historians call Northwest Style — straightforward, practical, and a good match for the community that built it.

The church is now used by the Pioneer Community Association rather than as an active congregation. It's one of the better-preserved examples of late 19th-century vernacular religious architecture in southwest Washington, and worth a look if you're walking Cathlamet's compact downtown.
