1800s Log Cabin Moved to New Site

Ellettsville, IN / September 2023

Wolfe relocated a historic log cabin for the second time in its 140 years of history. The cabin, which was built in the 1880s, was dismantled and brought to Ellettsville, Indiana, over 50 years ago. The community decided to relocate it again—this time in one piece—and restore it for use a historical center along a new multi-use trail. After lifting the 22’x28′ log building with its stone chimney, Wolfe installed house-moving dollies and drove it a little over half a mile through town to its new location.
