The Campbell Log Cabin dates back before 1850. Built eight miles southwest of Seguin, it was moved to downtown in 1979. It features a dog run ....which was popular in early construction for cooling purposes and is a general feature of structures within that time period. Rich landscape plantings around the home, provide colorful contrast with the primitive structure.
