This pioneer finally settled on a farm about 4 1/2 mi. east. Following his last defeat for reelection to Congress, he went to Texas, where he died in the Alamo massacre. This cabin, restored partley from timbers of his orginal dwelling by public-spirted citizens, now serves as a memorial to him and as a frontier museum. His mother is buried here.
