McCormick Cabin Site, Historical frontier cabin site in Indianapolis, United States
The McCormick Cabin Site features the location of an early 19th-century frontier dwelling that represents the architectural methods of Indiana's settlement period.
John Wesley McCormick Jr constructed this log cabin and tavern in 1820, marking one of the first permanent structures in what would become Indianapolis.
The site serves as an educational center where visitors learn about pioneer life through exhibitions of period artifacts and architectural elements.
White River State Park maintains the commemorative boulder and plaque marking the original location of the McCormick family settlement.
The cabin site earned recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981 for its connection to Indianapolis's first permanent European settlers.
