City Cabin

The sign in front of this cabin says:

This cabin was built in July 1914 near the confluence of the north and south forks of the Cedar River, approximately 14 miles (22 km) southeast of this location. It was used until about 1950 by timber cruisers, fire patrols, surveyors and other personnel working in the upper Cedar River Watershed. The cabin was moved here in 1963 after the area where it was located was logged.
