An archaeological dig discovered the foundations of the cabin.
Its thought that this was the first house the German settlers
built here, with its characteristic corner joints called
Pennsylvania joints, before the larger farmhouse was built.
The
natural plaster work over the wooden laths inside the cabin was done
beautifully and in keeping with all natural homes by Ben at
The Lime Plaster Co. where you can see pictures of the cabin's
interior. All of the work was done with traditional materials
using
lime, sand and horse hair, no cements or acrylics. |
