Inside the Lee Cabin at Lost River

Lost River State Park, Mathias, WV 
Inside the old Lee Cabin, some of the rooms have been furnished to look they might have back when the Lee family owned it. However, the naturalist who was there told us that the floor plan was changed back in the CCC days in order to make the stairway safer and at the same time to make the cabin's rooms more the size of those in a typical residence.

It was nice to get inside the cabin because we had seen it from the outside before on a day when the interior was not open to visitors. It looks fairly comfortable for a home that's 200 years old!

  1. I really like the old fashioned design. Modern interior design is incorporating these old elements more and more into new styles.

  6. It looks very comfortable for a home that old. It looks less ricikety from the inside than it does on the outside.
