Noah \u201cBud\u201d Ogle Cabin is two cabins with a shared chimney. There is a passageway between the two attached cabins. Long porches run along the front and back of the cabin.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It is actually two cabins with a shared chimney, called a Saddlebag Cabin, like a saddlebag that goes over a horse. (The reconstructed Abraham Lincoln cabin at Lincoln Log Cabin State Historic Site is also a saddlebag style log cabin.)<\/p>\n

There is a passageway between the two attached cabins.<\/p>\n

The first cabin was built when Ogle first settled the area. The second cabin was added about five years later to accommodate the growing family.<\/p>\n

This was a very common way to build log cabins. The size, about 18\u2019, was the size that was as big as men could carry a massive log. You can imagine how heavy each of those logs would be.<\/p>\n
