County's Pioneers

Tbe Fair Society has built on its gronnds a log heuse, 28x40 f eet and 14 feet high and a poroh 8 feet wide aoross tbe front, just the right proportions to make ahandsome effect. Over the front door is tbe insoription 1848. Erbcted in Hoxoh of WashTKNAW'S PlONEERS. 1848. At the north end on tbe outside is the low ohimney built of sticks. On the inside the loga are bewn smootb. The house will be heated by the large flre plaoe, fltted out with a orane, lue hook, trammel-ohain, and a broad old-fashioned mantel above. This building waserectedentirely by subscription. Every perion who gave live dollars has had his name (if he was a pioneer) orthe name of sorue one suggested by him carved on the logs on the inside of the house, with the date wben the pioneer came to tbis county and tbe name of the townehip in whioh he settled. This is probably the last large log building that will be erected in the oonnty, for they are very expensive, espeoally as large timber is beooming so soaroe. The fcociety feels tbat it holds a saored trust in this memorial of the pioneers of our beautiful county. The names of some of Wasbtenaw's most honored citizens are inserí bed npon the timbera of this house. The cabin will be ready for tbe iuspeotion of the pnblic dnring the ooming Pair.
