Historic Cabin

Constructed in 1871 for the Herman Luce family, this log structure belonged to one of the three original homesteaders in the area, and Herman Luce contributed to the establishment of Lake County. Over the years, the cabin housed many families and remains a reminder of the strength and perseverance of the pioneers. The cemetery behind the cabin is the burial site of four Luce family members: Mrs. Mary Luce, who died of serious burns; Mary's brother, who died in a blizzard; Mary's mother; and a daughter who died of chicken pox at age 8.
