Smith-Hollingsworth-Thomas Log House
This log cabin is the only visual reminder of the town's early settlement period. Pioneer James Smith built it in 1867, and later sold it to Elizabeth Hollingsworth, a pioneer mother of seven. The cabin, donated to the city by Nellie Thomas, stands on its original site. At one time it served as a meeting place for the Baptist church, and later as a jail. A likeness of a pioneer mother and child is carved into a maple tree stump near the site.
