Log Cabin
Step Back in Time

All kinds of animals depend on trees to build their homes, keep warm, find and store food, and raise their families. The Log Cabin is a perfect example of how people rely on trees to provide these same things. Tucked away in a lush gully, a visit to the Log Cabin is like a step back in time – a reminder of a bygone era. Stop in where the scent of the fireplace still lingers; see the historical photos and read the stories, relax on the porch, and enjoy the sights and sounds around you.
