There are hundreds, if not thousands, of cabins scattered across the National Park System. But some are more significant than others.
Some helped shelter slaves on the Underground Railroad, some marked a homesteader's scrappy existence, some witnessed the births of great men and women. Do you know the story behind this cabin?

Good guess, but no.
Ike's home at Gettysburg?
Ummmm, no.
Clearly it's colonial in age with 9 over 6 window panes. The shutters would have been standard for the time. My guess is the back extension was not original to the structure but was added before 1825 or so. I still say somewhere in Virginia but there are just too many parks to go through them all.
I like your thinking....
I once got to take a one-session survey course about colonial architecture at Colonial Williamsburg while on vacation there. Taught me a lot about how to look at buildings. Still want to go back some day but it's a long way from Katy, Texas. I enjoy your writing.
Thanks for the note, Texas Gal. I'd give you a hint, but suffice to say that you're in the ballpark.
