The “new” building is actually one with a long local history of its own. On May 19, a log cabin and an outbuilding bath house were moved from Island Lake, located between Loon and Lower Whitefish Lakes, to the entrance of the Crosslake Area Historical Society Museum’s Historic Log Village. The structures will be attached, renovated and opened as a visitor center hopefully by July 4. The center will serve as home to the Log Village gift shop and Historical Society office. Items in the current gift shop in the Village Town Hall will be moved to the visitor center shop. The cabin’s journey from Island Lake to the Log Village began when the Historical Society learned that Donna and David Claypool had purchased the lot where the cabin stood with plans to build a new home, according to acting Society President Tom White. The Claypools donated the cabin, which has no indoor plumbing other than a kitchen sink and also a bath house to the Society, White said.
