Located in the Hartley Outdoor Education Center on Beaver Road northwest of St. Charles. I'm not sure about the rules for visiting. The gates were open when we were there. The sign along the entrance says check in at the office upon arrival.

In 1896, John Schroeder built this one and one-half-story log home for his family on a farm about a mile west of Freeland. His son George resided there until 1968. Exhibiting hand-hewn, notched white pine logs, boarded gables and a wood shingled roof, the cabin was moved to the Hartley Outdoor Education Center in 1978. Equipped with furnishings from the late nineteenth century, the cabin is a pioneer heritage studies site where students can practice pioneer crafts and skills. The eighteen-by-twenty-six foot log barn was built in 1981.

NEW: Instructions for logging Missing Marker Visits.
If the Marker is missing, but still listed here, you must provide a photo of you at the actual item historically honored. (This should be the waymark's "default" image). Indicate in your log that you took your photo at the Historical Location instead of the marker, because the marker was missing. Please also still include a bit about your visit to the site.
