"Cool old cabin, currently closed so family could see the entire property around the cabin"
"Super cute little house that sits just down the hill from the Grant house. Lots of parking and even some tables to sit at."
"This little home has an amazing story to tell. I was sad that it was closed down for viewing the day that we were there but still envisioning how we live today versus how people lived in the past is amazing. The fact that up until 1970 this house was still used by a couple who raised six children in it for just shy of 50 years. I would imagine it odds no more than 120 sq ft with a loft. Tiny homes living at its finest!"
"This house in incredible. Looks like a shed by today's standards. Imagine raising a family of 8 in this house. It was occupied all the way to the 1970s."
"I Was Born in This Town Raised in between Hanover, IL and Savanna, IL"
