More to report later about Log Cabin Day and the open house at Old Victoria.

Have a good week :o)

that is a great place to visit and tour.

It is amazing how our ancestors survived in these sturdy structures ~ the craftsmanship is obvious in that so many are still standing! Thanks Charlie!

Reminds me of Fayette State Park.

Don't know that I've been there but I have been to
the Fayette State Park. Loved it!! It was the
first thing I thought of when I saw the pictures.
I guess that'll have to go on my "to do list",
along with the 100's of other things!!

I love structures built out of logs! So homey and cozy looking!

And to imagine no T.V., no internet and no cellphones!

This is fabulous stuff...AMAZING to see the "old way
of life".....and how people made it through!

Little House in the U.P. Prairie.

That looks like and interesting place to tour one
day!Great pics!

Back in the 1980's, I was one of the lucky
students who got to actually live in that very
cabin for several days with fellow students as
part of our Local History class. We had to wear
period-appropriate attire and bring absolutely
nothing modern with us. We were there during the
winter! We lived for those few days like those
early miners and experienced what life was like
for them back then. It was the best fun I ever
had in school! That experience is one of my most
cherished memories.

Somewhere northwest of Marquette, perched on a bluff overlooking a tributary of the Little Garlic River, sits a small cabin I helped build when I was a student at NMU back in the 1970's. It was still there a few years ago when I took my wife to see it, but it needed some love. A guy who had built a camp across the creek was using the cabin as a storage shed for all sorts of junk. Oh the stories you'd hear if only those walls could talk...

The "Victoria" link on this site does not seem to work. Went to look at it this past weekend.

there are also other sites that I click on and it either does not work or it puts me to something different.

I am so thankful for the pictures you have posted,
Charlie; I know you are very busy, we all are
thankful for your daily posts, even if they do not
include a lengthy explaination! :)

Historic.
