The Cabin is privately owned, and although we could not get into it on this Pilgrimage, we had permission to walk the grounds. The shed where the Old Brown Mackinaw was hung (see the story by that name) is still standing, as is MacQuarrie's writing shack that he used while waiting for his cabin to be built.

His hunting cronies had cabins next door and those families are still in possession of them. We got to visit them and meet and talk with the descendants.

Anyone planning a visit, or interested in becoming a member, please PM me and I can put you in touch with someone at the BAHA. The museum closes after Labor Day.

Garth, you appear to be a good candidate for the ODHA Circle!
