Visiting an Abandoned log Cabin Homestead 

Hi Gail people do care but its money that is the barrier, this one being part of a land conservation trust and a community icon. No one wants to spend the money without owning it and the community wont let it go to an individual as every one would like to own it and if they cant have it then no one can situation as it should be everyones in the community to share. It is sad.

I tried to restore a cabin for free and was told No by the county commissioners...I was ready to invest $75.000 to original restoration and wasn't allowed to do it... makes me sick too see our history rote.

@@jonhbaker1511 I know Jonh I just want restore every cabin I see abandoned. Thanks for watching mate

They are my happy place imagining the lives that lived in these places

Hi Joe I love imagining the [people and lives back in the day when I visit places like this, thanks for watching mate

Gods country

It sure is

Thanks Brenda for watching, I will be back in cabin country next weekend to visit and rebuild some more

Glad you enjoyed it

Probably for air flow in the summer and to get beds and furniture upstairs as the stairs are quite steep and tight

Hi Richard I like to imagine the life that was lived in its hay day.

Unfortunately it belongs to a nature conservancy and not privately owned so unless someone private steps up and donates a roof it will be lost eventually which is really sad

The Sasquatch?

An Ozzie bunyip

Hi Debbie unfortunately very little is known about the personal lives of the original owners just basically their names and that it was a central cattle homestead for the area in its early time. This is all I could find except the legend of the rancher killing his wife in the newest structure from a local source which was burnt down with her in it but I am unable to substantiate this story. www.cariboord.ca/en/recreation-and-leisure/knoll-house.aspx

Thanks Malcolm I do miss home but this place is pretty good as well, thanks for watching mate

Hi Donovan no not on my property but its on a property that is controlled by a nature conservation society

I'm not really sure but folk legend or true history the rancher killed his wife and burnt down the newest house structure with her in it. but I have noway of confirming this.
