Log Cabin Day 2018
The Dougherty House opened for Log Cabin Day, June 24, 2018. More visitors than ever before came to see the interior and some of the furnishings in the house. Restoration is in its final stages now, and we are in the midst of reviewing, cleaning, and restoring furniture and other items for viewing in the home. A number of pieces are original furniture actually used by Peter Dougherty and his family, and others are appropriate for the period 1839 to 1910. The selection process continues, and those items not displayed at first may be rotated into the house for viewing on a schedule to be determined.
