The structure of greatest historical interest is a single pen log cabin with full dovetail notching which was built in 1882. It was moved to the present site from a timber claim not far away, in the 1890s. The structure was placed onto a concrete foundation in 1949. The site's original log barn and dugout house were destroyed long ago.[2]
