Matsel Cabin
Carmi, Illinois

General, History, Historic House, Historical Society

The State of Illinois contacted the Society in 1994 about a covered log cabin located along the right of way of Illinois Route 1 and in 1996 the Matsel Cabin was opened to the public. The state provided research and moving services on the structure, located approximately three miles south of Carmi. The society purchased a lot next to the Old Graveyard, which had been deeded to the society by its trustees in 1990, and secured a $20,000 grant from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Community Affairs to restore the structure.
