The 1860 Log Cabin

The reason for restoring the cabin is that we know it was one of the first structures in Wayne County outside of the city of Wooster.  John Hughes erected the cabin in 1816 after moving here from Pennsylvania.  Terry and Laura Gilmor donated the cabin to the MCHS and our goal is reconstruct it in as authentic a manner as possible.  No electricity, no plumbing.  We would like to furnish the cabin with only the primitive items that the settlers may have had during that time.  The desire of MCHS is for the cabin to be preserved and have a place of prominence and to be used and appreciated by school children and adults to learn about what life may have been like 200 years ago.
