Started off with the thought of a picnic spot, Pioneer Log Cabin was set up, and for this 146 logs of various species were brought in on April 4, 1923. A crew of 46 people were used to build the cabin, who completed the work by June 20, 1923. Each log has a serial number embedded reflecting the donor list. The cabin consists of 2 storeys and a cement base, a front and a back porch as well. Charles Harmon, the owner of the museum wanted to pay debts off the museum and arranged for lot selling within the cabin for USD 1 each, and thus paid off all debts. The rear porch was then replaced with a room to display memorabilia and artifacts.

Are really nice stop to take your time and experience a slower time in history. Tons of really unique displays and collections.It’s too bad the village government does not harness this gems potential to attract sight seeing and help preserve and protect it.It’s all non profit and ran by volunteers.
MoreThe cabin was closed. I had been past a few times this year and it was never open. I think it was covid closed this year. I stopped to take some pictures across Stone Lake since the fall colors were peaking. I walked around the property a little as the cabin is pretty with the leaves changing colors around it. There are a few historic marker signs and a cannon to check out. There is also a nice pavilion. It was a nice stop, even just to look around outside.
