Pioneer Log cabin's were often small and cramped and very primitive. With that being said it created a warm and cozy togetherness for the families that lived inside.
Imagine your self sitting by the fire in an old wooden rocker in the cabin's great room. A braided rug under your feet, herbs drying on a rack on the wall, a pitcher and bowl to wash in sitting on the dry sink, and the wonderful smell of apples and cinnamon cooking in the big pot hanging in the fireplace! In this day of fast paced lives I long to Simplify!
The cabin in the photo is from Chaplin Creek a restored historic village in Franklin Grove, Il.

How truly wonderful it felt to place myself in that cabin, just for that moment. When you said..."In this day of fast paced lives I long to Simplify!"....my eyes stung with tears. I believe the majority of people wish they could also "Simplify".
This is such a neat cabin - I would love to visit the whole village some day!
