Lincoln Log Cabin

The Log Cabin in Rebild National Park

The Log Cabin is beautifully located at the entrance to Rebild National Park, with views of the hills and the historic Fourth of July celebration site. The building is also known as the Lincoln Log Cabin and is named after U.S. President Abraham Lincoln.

Please note that the Log Cabin is no longer a museum. The exhibition and props from the former Log Cabin Museum can now be experienced at Museum Rebild.

A historic landmark by the national park

The first Log Cabin was built in 1934. In 1987, the building was moved from its original location below Cimbrerbakken to its current, more prominent position at the entrance to the national park. The move was carried out log by log: the building was carefully dismantled, numbered and reassembled.

On 11 November 1993, the Log Cabin was sadly destroyed by fire. The following year, a new Log Cabin was built. It was made in the state of Washington, USA, using old cedar trees from the same area, then dismantled and shipped to Denmark as a kit.

The new Log Cabin was completed in time for the Rebild Festival in 1994 – exactly 60 years after the original Log Cabin was inaugurated. The building is almost identical to the original.

Practical information

The Log Cabin no longer functions as a museum. Visit Museum Rebild instead if you would like to see the exhibition and props from the former Log Cabin Museum.
