Summary

According to local legend, the cabin was built on the bottom lands along the Missouri River about 1835. The exterior walls are constructed of handhewn cottonwood logs with wall spaces, originally packed with mud, now sealed with grout. The structure has been moved several times but has remained on the present site in Bellevue since the 1850s.
