|
| Adsit Cabin is possibly the oldest log cabin in the United States. | |
| The Adsit Cabin was built by Samuel Adsit in 1778 for his family of 16. He was a Revolutionary War veteran who settled in Willsboro Point. Eventual additions over the cabin led to a frame house that was torn down in 1928. When the original cabin began to reveal itself, the then-owner decided to preserve this piece of history. | |
 |
|
| Sixteen children? It was a close family. | |
| Under the auspices of the Willsboro Heritage Society, ongoing restoration efforts are making this into a jewel of local history. | |
 |
|
| The chimney is built from native stone. | |
| The museum is open July-Aug, Sat-Sun, 10am-2pm Willsboro Point Road 518-963-4598 |
