Log cabins have long been a symbol of rugged independence and pioneering spirit. First built by the early settlers of North America's west, they were built to withstand cold harsh winters and long hot summers. They were without electricity or plumbing, but they provided cozy, safe shelters. Today people build log cabins at their lakeside retreats, or mountain getaways. The "cabins" today are often grand affairs that would put their predecessors to shame, but they still symbolize a certain rustic charm and many are still built in traditional ways. Plan on visiting an historic log cabin in your area if there is one and appreciate their significance in our history.
Your post is exactly right, the log cabins have evolved over the years but still somehow manage to retain the rustic charms that make them so appealing to live in or stay in on a holiday
