MINA HISTORIC LOG CABIN

In decades past, visitors and newcomers to Findley Lake saw a billboard on the corners of School Street and North Road, which read: "Future Home of Historic Log Cabin."

However, for more than a decade, nothing seemed to be happening . . . that is about to change.

Twenty years after the Mina Historic Log Cabin, as it is now called, was rediscovered, dismantled and placed into storage, plans are underway to rebuild the cabin, as part of the Town of Mina's bicentennial celebration.

The site on which the cabin will be constructed has not been determined. However, it may possibly be built near to the waterwheel and gazebo, according to Town of Mina Supervisor Rebecca Brumagin.

The cabin has a long and rich heritage in Mina. While the date of construction is not known, several evaluations have revealed that it was built in the 19th century. As a 2005 report prepared by Crawford & Stearns, Architects and Preservation Planners, related, "the log artifacts of this log house retain a high level of historic integrity to their initial construction."

The cabin is best known around Findley Lake for its use during the Lakeside Assembly years. The Lakeside Assembly, which was similar to the Chautauqua Institution, existed from 1895 to 1915. The log cabin was located on Assembly grounds, near what is now Ball Diamond and Parsonage Roads, and was used as a studio in which many people were given lessons.

At some point, the cabin was dismantled and moved out of the area. Rumors persisted that it had been moved to North East, PA. The Findley Lake and Mina Historical Society conducted a search and found the cabin near Freeport Beach. The cabin was purchased for $5,000 and it came home to Findley Lake in 2003.

In 2004, Mary Norcross of the historical society obtained a Technical Assistance Grant from the New York State Council for the Arts. This grant provided the means to have a comprehensive report compiled by Crawford & Stearns, Architects and Preservation Planners. The report covered an assessment of the condition of the Mina Historic Log Cabin, as well as the issues facing the historic society in reconstruction and restoration of the building.

The land on which the sign used to stand was donated by Florence and Dennis Boozel in 2009 with the contingency to reconstruct the cabin on that site. Due to lack of funds, however, the project could not proceed...until now.
