The proper motions of 54 young stars in the Ori OB1 cluster has been specified. The contraction of the cluster in the time scale of ≈3×106years is discovered, and the cluster rotation with the period of ≈6×106years is confirmed as well. The cluster velocity ≈-10 km/s is determined from spatial velocities of 26 stars. This means that the cluster was situated in the symmetry plane of the Galaxy some 1.4×107years ago, that coincides with the oldest subcluster age of the association.
