Visit log cabins built from 1818-1860, located on 74 acres--homes, a general store, doctor and apothecary, preacher's cabin (home of 3 different preachers) cobbler and carpenter shop, Schwarm's cabin which was used for church services for 10 years... JACOB'S WELL, an old stage coach stop, where JESSE JAMES, ABRAHAM LINCOLN, and other famous and not so famous stayed...You paid 6 cents for a bed but might share the bed with strangers.
