1890s Cabin in Giant City, Illinois.
This is a rare image of a cabin in Giant City from before it was a state park in 1927. It is hard to decide if it is a cabin where people lived or if it was used for farming purposes. The bluff line in the background is now part of shelter #1 and is a popular spot for rappelling (circa 1890) . Today it's in Makanda, Illinois.
