Conveniently located
on twenty acres in beautiful Washington Park, the
Washington County Historical Society's newest project is
an exciting work in progress.
The
site was chosen for its accessibility for school and bus
tours. Its proximity to all major highways makes
it and ideal location, and being centrally located in
the county seat ensures a short commute from all the
areas and schools within the county.
Included in this site is the well- known Washington Park
Log Cabin. Completed construction includes the 50'
x 50' stockade, blockhouse, one interior cabin, one
exterior cabin, a half-faced camp and a blacksmiths
shop.
Future plans call for the continuation of site
development; a log house, log meeting house, three sided
barn, and Indian camp are all part of future
construction. Please continue to check back and
see how construction progresses.
