History

The cabin was built by artist and author W. Ben Hunt in his backyard. It started as an homage to his grandmother's cabin, where he spent part of his childhood, but it developed into a Rustic Style design. Hunt used the cabin to work on his art and his writings. In 1940, he added onto the structure. The cabin has since been moved from its original location to its current one and transformed into a museum.
