Update 2/2004 - Old Log Cabin Structure Saved!!!
The
structure was saved by the WWHS, the Town of Westfield
and with the support of a grant from the Legacy Fund Community
Foundation.
The
logs of the log cabin were dismantled with the help of
Kevin Emmert Construction Co. Inc. The logs have been
treated with a preservation agent and are stored by the
Town of Westfield until it is decided what to do in the
future with this structure.

the future of the log cabin should contact Jim or Diana

Update 9/2003:
The
Westfield-Washington Historical Society was accepted to
receive a Legacy Found grant to help preserve the old
log cabin inside the
Old Carey House. More information to follow.
Beneath
this relatively unsuspecting facade on North Union Street
lies a big piece of Westfield history. Within the walls
lies the remnants of a Westfield founding father's cabin.
We need your help to preserve what remains.
In
addition to the log cabin, the structure was home to the
Carey family, who used to own the former restaurant-now-quilting
store in town.
