Log Cabin

The interior of a pre-civil war log cabin (before 1860), one of the few remaining in St. Louis.

My better half and I were driving home from Costco, for heaven's sake, taking a back road, when I spotted the park from the roadside and we pulled over to investigate. Behold, three pre-civil war log cabins, in a city park, surrounded by suburban houses. We were amazed. This is the interior of a part of one.

You could see, upon close inspection, that each timber had been cut by hand with an axe.

A new local treasure, discovered. :) Thanks, as always, for taking time to visit.

Love the history! Wonderful green view on the left of the cabin and lake view with sun rays on the right.

There doesn't seem to be any fences to keep the people who live on the streets out? Maybe its not finished as a tourist destination yet!

Hand hewn timber really is an art to behold! I marvel at the time it took to make life just "bearable"!

Great find

What a wonderful discovery! It looks so well preserved too! It is wonderful when a community takes on the preservation of a building especially one that looks less than grand, but is still of great historic significance.
