With the approaching snow season, the days are fill with projects to winterized and prepare for the colder weather. This old log building would need some chinking before winter to make it warm and cozy.

This log cabin was built by Thomas Goodletson in the late 1850s on Horseshoe Island across the bay from Ephraim in Door County. It was later moved across the ice from the island to the village and Thomas and family continued live in the cabin until the late 1800s. It was later used as a honeymoon suite for a local hotel before it was moved again in 1974 next to the Pioneer Schoolhouse as part of the museums run by the Ephraim Historical Foundation.

This cute log building probably has seen a lot of history and if the walls could talk, I bet it would have some great stories to tell.

Listening to the cold rain falling this evening made me feel chilled even in a warm house. These log buildings looked like they are chinked well so they may be able to keep the damp winds out and warm inside from the fireplace. These buildings were the living quarters for married enlisted men at Fort Wilkins in Copper Harbor, Michigan which was built in 1844.

On a ‘spring’ morning below freezing, a blacksmith might stay warm if he had his forge fired up for the day and if his log structure was well chinked.
