ca. 1783 Hyde Log Cabin, Grand Isle, Vermont
I usually avoid taking photos of tourist buildings, but I thought this one was worth including. The following information comes from the plaque at the front of the property: "Built circa 1783. This pioneer log cabin was one of the first buildings constructed in this area. Built from cedar logs by Jedediah Hyde, Jr., an engineer and veteran of the Revolutionary War, it was the home of the Hyde family for over 150 years. The cabin was one large room, heated by a stone fireplace, and a loft above. Many believe this is the oldest log cabin in the United States. The cabin was moved two miles to this location in 1946 by the Vermont Historical Society and restored in 1956 and in 1985. The Grand Isle Historical Society own the collection in the building.
