Drake Log Cabin, Log cabin from 1816 in Apollo, Pennsylvania.
The rectangular log structure measures 18 feet by 22 feet, featuring wooden walls, a gable roof, and an interior stone chimney at one end.
The cabin received its name from Sarah Drake who purchased it in 1862 for $312 but never lived there, residing instead in the house next door.
The interior contains period furnishings including a field stone fireplace, spinning wheel, butter churn, and a bed reportedly belonging to Jimmy Stewart's grandfather.
The Apollo Area Historical Society maintains the cabin and organizes educational programs about early Pennsylvania settler life in the nineteenth century.
The springhouse contains a concrete cistern that functioned as both a water source and natural refrigeration system for the residents.
