Lighthorse Harry Lee Cabin, Historic log cabin in Lost River State Park, West Virginia, US.

The two-story wooden structure features traditional frame construction with hand-hewn logs positioned near the entrance of Lost River State Park.

Charles Carter Lee, son of Revolutionary War General Henry Lee III, constructed this mountain dwelling around 1820 as a summer retreat from Virginia's heat.

The cabin represents early American frontier architecture and showcases the living conditions of prominent military families in the nineteenth century.

The State of West Virginia maintains the cabin as a museum within Lost River State Park, allowing visitors to explore the historical residence.

The cabin remained in the possession of the Lee family for nearly 60 years until 1879, when they sold the property to new owners.
