1846 · East Charlotte, Vermont · Moved to Museum: 1955

The Settlers' House is constructed of hand-hewn beech and pine timbers. In the 18th and early 19th centuries, Vermont settlers, loggers, and trappers often built similar temporary log homes. Research suggests that this particular example was constructed in the mid-19th century by a French Canadian settler working in the lumbering industry.
The current exhibits in the cabin, replica barn, and gardens reflect life in late 18th-century Vermont. Household implements, textiles, furnishings, and tools provide a glimpse into the range of skills required to establish a new Vermont homestead.
