Work to relocate the historic West Township Trustee cabin may continue yet this month.
The building was carefully removed from its original location on State Road 17 in August. Crews from Yoder’s Log and Timber in Nappanee worked to carefully disassemble the log cabin for its new home at Memorial Forest in Marshall County. The project took about five days.
Marshall County Parks and Recreation Board Member Richard Markley said in a previous meeting that the logs have been cleaned and stored in a safe place until work can resume.
Markley informed the park board members last week that the contractor is looking to wrap up a couple of projects soon which will free up a crew to complete the relocation of the cabin. The concrete footings have been poured and everything is ready for the project to be completed.
The park board will look into getting security cameras for the area in the near future, as well as cameras for the Mill Pond area where they bicycle trails are.
