Benedict Meyer Log Cabin
One of the three oldest cabins extent in Kansas (thought to have been built in 1854, the same year Kansas became a territory)--moved from its original site to this location in Meriden, Kansas to the local fairgrounds. It was taken apart and reassembled--so the logs are authentic and fitted together as they were originally, but the mortar is, of course, new. The roof extension is not authentic, however. I assume it was added as a way to protect the structure from the elements. I've never seen a cabin in Kansas with a roof like this--though they are common in tobacco country. Very strange! This photo just became the first to enter my top 200 most viewed photos without benefit of a nude or at the least, a swimsuit clad female. I find that odd. I'm not badmouthing my own photo. but there is no question that I have better photos of nature or decaying buildings, etc, than this one. So, I wonder why the viewing public chose this one?
