" A Piece From the Past "

Come out and experience one family's effort to preserve history thru Jim's collection of authentic 1800 antique log cabins.  Explore the outdoors; you and your family may spy a Pileated woodpecker, a big buck, wild turkey, or Bobcat;  hear the wild coyote symphony at dusk;  stroll in the afternoon through acres of gardens and woods; and don't forget Katy's home cooked country breakfast in the morning, served in front of a sandstone fireplace!

Jim has been collecting, restoring, and preserving a way of life that once occupied most of the area of Southern Illinois.  Come on over and join him for a few days of historical fun!

For a secluded getaway . . .

Of the many historic buildings on this beautiful wooded site, four cabins are completely remodeled for country comfort, including bath/shower & kitchen facilities with stove, refrigerator, sink and microwave, A/C, TV, fireplace or woodstove, hot tub Jacuzzi, and big wrap around porches to relax on.  Breakfast is country style served in the main lodge, in front of a large sandstone fireplace.  The large flower garden provides a delightful area for short walks and bird watching, as well as fresh herbs and vegetables.  Outdoor activities include hiking, fishing, lakeside fire pit, grill, and picnic area.
