This eighteen hundreds log cabin rests in the 450 acre Black Partridge State Park in Illinois. In addition to other amenities, the park features extensive hiking and mountain bike trials. More than 8 miles of trails in total!
The Crown Jewel
But, if you ask me the cabin is the crown jewel of Black Partridge State Park.  Tucked into the edge of forest at the head of two trails, Lee Log Cabin is a beauty. This historic timber log cabin was built in near by Worth Township in the year of 1836 by John Amsler. More than a century later in 1984 the cabin was moved by the Woodford County Historical Society to the Black Partridge. The Historical Society restored the log cabin and maintains it to this day. The 1800s cabin can be toured on Sunday afternoons May through October. And it available on seasonal Pioneer Day Events
In case you haven’t heard, I had the chance to be a part of amazing project for healthy living. For the past six years over 80,000 families have been saying, “yes” to their health to get a complete library of natural living resources. You can pick up a copy of my book Aromatherapy: A Practical Guide for Home and Family in the Ultimate Healthy Living Bundle. It includes 107 digital products and worth over $3,680 for less than cost of dinner for two!

What lovely , rustic charm!
My thoughts exactly, thanks Fiona
Very cool find! Glad they are keeping important parts of history. Have a great week.
Quite true, we don’t see that often enough in America. Especially the Midwest, it’s always make more room for more corn fields.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful place. I believe I could spend the entire day in the park. And, I agree, the crown jewel is that awesome cabin. I love having history come to life through these glimpses into the past. Your photos capture the personality beautifully.
How beautiful!
I love cabins like this. They fascinate me and make me wonder how the pioneers lived in them. would love to have tried it.
I agree, I love touring New Salem in IL where President Lincoln lived. The settlement is around the same time my ancestors came to America from France. We have several things passed down in our family that they have in the homes of the settlement. It’s incredible to walk in your ancestors foot steps.
What a beautiful little cabin. I want to move in and recreate the Little House on the Prairie life!
LOL, it might be cold in the winter. Lovely in the summer though I imagine.
I would love to visit this cabin! We found similar in the woods of Michigan. Love the history of a log cabin!
Aren’t they intriguing!
