Hyde Log Cabin
Built
circa 1783
This
pioneer log cabin was one of the first buildings constructed in this
area. Built from cedar logs by Jedediah Hyde, Jr., an
engineer
and veteran of the Revolutionary War, it was the home of the Hyde family for
over 150 years. The cabin has one large
room,
heated by a stone fireplace, and a loft above. Many believe this is the
oldest log cabin in the United States. The cabin was
moved
two miles to this location in 1946 by the Vermont Historical Society and
restored in 1956 and in 1985. The Grand Isle
Historical
Society owns the collection in the building.
