Take A Rare Look At Detroit's Only Surviving Log Cabin

Visitors to Detroit's Palmer Park will have a rare opportunity to take a tour of the city's only surviving log cabin this Sunday.

On Michigan's 26th Log Cabin Day, the group People for Palmer Park is sponsoring an event with the City of Detroit to spread awareness about the historic building and to raise funds to restore its roof. Ultimately, they want to turn the 127-year-old cabin into a community center, a role it served during the 1960s before it was closed due to a lack of city funding.

Sarah James, a People for Palmer Park board member, said she's thrilled the cabin will be open to the public again. It will be only the second time in thirty years that the public has had a chance to see the structure, the last being in 2001 during Detroit's tricentennial celebration.
