Log Cabin Folk Art Center

This cabin was built in 1859 on

northeast of where it now stands and is the oldest building in the Red
River valley. Once a settler’s home, it
later served as a stagecoach stop on the Burbank Stage
Company’s route between St.
Paul and Georgetown,
Minnesota.
In 1878 Charles Whitcomb bought the cabin and moved it to 10th
Street North in Moorhead,
where it remained until 1931 when Robert Nuebarth, another owner, took
it apart and donated it to the city.
Adolph Bowman and the Moorhead Garden Club restored the cabin to its
current location in 1933. During the 1950’s and
60’s it was used by various organizations and was closed in
the 70’s. In 1999, local artists, Gloria Weisgram and Gary
Paulsen, partnered with Moorhead
Parks
and Recreation Department to preserve this cabin and create an art
center. Each Tuesday throughout the summer beginning at 6:30 PM the
cabin provides working folk artists, music on the deck outside, and
carriage rides from the cabin along the Red River
