Logging Museum & Pioneer Village

























This museum & village was attached to the Collier State Park and only about 1/2 mile stroll from our campsite. One of these log cabins was built in the 1860's and was still occupied in 1955. It is amazing that people still lived in a small 350 square foot cabin with bedroom, living room and kitchen in the same room. No bathroom as those were located outdoors. The best part of this attraction is that it was free. You would not see this for free in California. Check out the huge wheels on this log transporting machine which was used until the mid 1960's. Horses pulled the logs out of the forest and the big wheels assisted in movement over holes and rocks.
