Gene Stratton Porter Cabin, Historic residence in Geneva, United States.

The Limberlost Cabin is a two-story, fourteen-room Queen Anne-style house with a Wisconsin white cedar-log exterior and California redwood shingles on the upper story. A single-story wraparound porch with log pillars spans the front and east side. Inside are red oak panels in the entrance hall, dining room, and library, seven fireplaces, and white oak floors; a cedar-log carriage house stands behind.

Gene Stratton-Porter moved from Decatur to Geneva after her daughter Jeannette's birth in 1887. Construction of the fourteen-room cabin at 200 East Sixth Avenue began in 1894 and was completed in 1895, the year her first magazine articles appeared. She lived there until 1914, when drainage of Limberlost Swamp destroyed the habitat she documented, and the family moved to Wildflower Woods. The Limberlost Conservation Association donated the cabin to Indiana in 1947.

Stratton-Porter was known locally as "The Bird Lady" and "The Lady of the Limberlost." The cabin holds her collection of mounted moths, gathered for her 1912 book Moths of the Limberlost, along with household furnishings and memorabilia. The swamp that gave the house its name was drained between 1888 and 1910, and she moved out in 1914.

Visitors can tour the property through guided walks that provide access to the main cabin, carriage house, and garden areas. Wearing sturdy shoes is recommended since the grounds are hilly and feature multiple pathways to explore.

Stratton-Porter called her fourteen-room house "the cabin," and her popularity during World War I was such that reprints of her novel were said to have littered the trenches. The home was inspired by the Forestry Building at Chicago's 1893 World's Columbian Exposition, which the Porters had visited.
