Restoration and Relocation

Connecting Our Community
by Preserving Its Past

The Beedle Log Cabin is Warren County's oldest standing structure. It was hidden under years of renovations and left abandoned for nearly 50 years before being rediscovered, restored, and safely relocated to the site, next to Harmon Museum. where all can enjoy this lost piece of history.

To the right, you'll find photos of the journey the cabin has taken since its rediscovery.

The clearing/uncovering of the cabin was done by volunteers and the relocation/restoration was done by Architectural Reclimation.

Fun Fact: Each log weighs 450lbs and were saplings in 1660!
