Where we ate!! - Great Food.

A bit about the area. 📍 Quick Facts & Location • Big Cabin is a tiny rural town in Craig County, OK, with a 2020 population of just 174, down from 265 in 2010 . • It lies along U.S. Highway 69, about 10 mi north of Vinita and 8 mi south of Adair, with I‑44 (Will Rogers Turnpike) Exit 283 just to the north . ⸻ 🪵 A History Rooted in Hay & Rails • Named after a large plank cabin used by local Native Americans, built near a railroad switch in 1871–72 when the MKT Railway passed through the area . • Big Cabin became famous as the “Hay Capital of the World”—between roughly 1883 and 1910, more hay was shipped from here than any other U.S. town . • The town was formally platted in 1904, began incorporation in 1926, and finalized it in 1958 . ⸻ ⚔️ Historic Site: Cabin Creek Battlefield • Just southeast of town sits the Cabin Creek Battlefield, where two Civil War raids (1863 & 1864) targeted Union supply trains on the Texas Road. Though the Confederate raids captured supplies in the 1864 engagement, they didn’t alter the course of the war .
