Description: In 1997 and 1998 the Society dismantled, moved, cleaned, reassembled and restored a pioneer log cabin that had been donated to the City in 1960, but which had experienced a period of limited use and increasing deterioration. The restored cabin, which re-opened in 1999, is furnished with mid-19th century artifacts and reproductions. A tool shed with "swing-out" display doors was constructed near the cabin to display hand tools and farm artifacts and to provide information on Burlington's agricultural history and on early settlers in the area. Open Saturday afternoons from mid-May through mid-October from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.; during special Burlington community activities; and by appointment. Maintained by Burlington Historical Society.
