A local resident whose great-grandparents settled the area is hoping to preserve the cabin and register it as a historical landmark. Keith Harrop is looking into different options through the Jefferson County Historical Society to help him preserve the cabin. Keith began the initial restoration work with other family members including removing trees and brush that surrounded the house. They also removed some old appliances from the cabin including an old washer and dryer. Keith has additional plans to repair the cabin to strengthen its structural integrity.
