When I was a kid growing up in Rushville, we just referred to it as the Hackleman Cabin, and pretty much let it go at that. We didn’t pay much more attention to it, as I’ll bet most people don’t today, than that. It’s not a Lincoln Log-type of cabin because the logs have all been squared off rather than just the right-size trees notched together, (I’m sure there’s a name for the type of construction it is – I just don’t to know what it is!) But it’s still fits the definition of a cabin and I can’t imagine living in a one-room structure with a dirt floor and stone fireplace. That would be particularly tough to do during winters like this one!
