Hyde Log Cabin Grand Isle oldest log cabin
— — a small room of squared pine, still standing.
Not only on a wall.
“A 20-by-25-foot cabin of squared white cedar logs, built in 1783 by Jedediah Hyde Jr., a surveyor and Revolutionary War veteran. It is among the oldest log cabins in the United States still standing on something close to its original ground, on Grand Isle in northwestern Lake Champlain. The Vermont Division for Historic Preservation has kept it since the 1950s.

The place, in three passes.
The Hyde Log Cabin sits on U.S. Route 2 in the village of Grand Isle, on the long island chain that divides the northwestern arm of Lake Champlain. Jedediah Hyde Jr., who had served as a surveyor in the Continental Army under Washington, built the cabin in 1783 on land he received in payment for his service. The structure was moved from its original site about two miles south in 1945 to save it from demolition, and was opened as a state historic site in 1956.
Grand Isle is one of four large islands in northwestern Lake Champlain, connected to mainland Vermont and to New York by a series of bridges and a seasonal ferry from Plattsburgh. The lake here runs deep and broad, reaching its widest at about twelve miles across between Burlington and the Adirondack shore. Hyde's cabin sits roughly a quarter mile inland from the eastern shoreline, on ground that has been farmed for grain and orchard fruit since the late eighteenth century.
The cabin is open to visitors from late May through mid-October, Thursday through Monday, with a small admission fee collected by the Grand Isle Historical Society. It is reached directly from U.S. Route 2, the main north-south road along the island chain, about ten miles south of the Canadian border crossing at Alburgh. The interior contains period furniture, a stone hearth, and tools associated with the Hyde family, who occupied the cabin for about 150 years before its move.
