County secures funding for log‑cabin work; centennial celebration planned
Summary
Staff reported $17,000 secured to deconstruct and rebuild a historic log cabin with an out-of-state builder; preparations for the county centennial on the 13th are underway, including tents, posters and invitations to former commissioners.
County staff told commissioners they secured $17,000 to support deconstruction and reconstruction work on the county's log cabin. A builder from Minnesota will take down remaining timbers, salvage what is usable and reconstruct the structure later.
The events staff member said the builder "wants to come" and will likely dismantle the cabin in about two weeks, using cottonwood and salvaged original material where possible. The county will ship components to Minnesota for fabrication and then reassemble them on site.
Separately, staff outlined plans for the county's 100th celebration scheduled for the 13th, with tents, posters and invitations sent to former commissioners and community members. The event is planned as an outside gathering with short presentations and local displays; staff will coordinate weather contingencies with the school if needed.
Next steps: staff will finalize contractor timing for the cabin work, confirm materials and tree donations for replacement timber where needed, and continue event preparations for the centennial.
