My World Tuesday Season # 2 Episode # 8

This is my posting for the My World Meme. It is hosted by Klaus, Sandy, Wren, Louise, Sylvia and myself. Won't you join in, I want to see where you live and thrive. Check out the new layout at the My World site. I will be travelling tomorrow and Wednesday so I will get back to you when I return. 

This is a look at the John Davey Arboretum that is across the road from the Davey Tree main office complex. There are plenty of trees surrounding the area hence the name. 

A log cabin was moved into the area. The cabin was from Lisbon, Ohio and was built in 1808. From 1808 to 1833, it was the home of a newspaper called The Ohio Patriot. It had been used as a jail house somewhere in its history. It is well restored and a neat place to see as you travel State Route 43 North out of the city. The parking nearby is very poor.


There are a lot of neat sites around the world you can visit by clicking above.

    Very nice cabin. The turkeys the other day were great. You have a lot more critters than we do in our neighborhood. I've seen turkeys once this year, I think.

    I don't see a chimney, I hope it doesn't get too smokey inside.

    I haven't been to a log cabin except on TV. Thanks

    A lot of the neat sites are close to home. I'll be staying out of the "country" til deer season is over. We have a lot of log cabins in the Hocking Hills.

    such a cute log cabin.
    funny I live in a wee log cabin (as does your fox photo;-}) and it also was moved here. But mine was not a jail it was a model home. Ha. I guess the little ones can be moved.

    Cute little cabin!
    How cool that they can move it and keep it intact.

    I like the second photo where the cottage is on its own in the middle of no where. Really nice, cute, and tranquil.

    I love the history of the cabin...and that it was once a newspaper was intriguing...can't wait to email this to son Wallace (Newspaper Editor always complaining about small building)...maybeb he'll count his blessings!
