Washington County Frontier History Center

 

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.
