A UNIQUE VISIT TO SETTLERS CABIN PARK
The centerpiece of Settlers Cabin Park is a log cabin constructed in the late 18th century by John Henry. The cabin is referred to as the Walker-Ewing- Glass House, in recognition of the three families who managed to scrape out a life in the austere shelter of its log timbers.
