Slabsides, Historical log cabin in Esopus, United States
The wooden cabin features rough bark-covered lumber strips on its outer walls and stands on red cedar posts supporting a welcoming front porch.
Naturalist John Burroughs and his son constructed this one-story log cabin in 1895, creating a retreat where Burroughs would receive visitors like Theodore Roosevelt.
The cabin represents a connection between literature and nature, as Burroughs wrote numerous environmental essays and observations while staying at this location.
The cabin opens to visitors twice annually, on the third Saturday in May and first Saturday in October, from noon until 4:30 in the afternoon.
The building incorporates local materials throughout its structure, including unhewn logs and large windows that frame views of the surrounding Marlboro Mountains.
