"Fun with the Family"


Built around 1810, Cooper Cabin was an original county homestead. On Halloween families gather around a bonfire at the cabin to hear ghost stories. On weekends from April to October the cabin offers demonstrations of horseshoeing, basket weaving, quilting, spinning, and weaving, as well as an herb garden and outbuildings such as a spinning house, springhouse, and tool shed.
