History
5
One of the first buildings constructed in this area, this pioneer log cabin was built from cedar logs by Jedediah Hyde, Jr., an engineer and veteran of the Revolutionary War, and served as the Hyde family's home for over 150 years. The cabin has one large room heated by a stone fireplace and a loft above. Many believe it is the oldest log cabin in the United States. It 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 this building.
