Cabin among Westmoreland County's oldest
A little log cabin in Donegal is estimated to be one of the oldest log structures of its kind in Westmoreland County.
Constructed about 200 years ago, the log structure was built as a blacksmith shop for Jacob Gettemy, and much of the original workmanship and charm still exists today.
Over the centuries, the home became a private residence with modern updates and additions. Eventually it was encased in aluminum siding, and many people forgot that it was there.
The log home is now the site of the Mountain Herb Shoppe, and owner Judy Trabbold painstakingly has restored it to its look of two centuries ago.
