Historic Ellettsville Log Cabin Relocated to Town Hall


The Town of Ellettsville organized for a historic log cabin to be relocated from Vine Street to its new home near Town Hall. The cabin has been a landmark in Ellettsville for many years and was often used for the Fall Festival.
Our crews were happy to help the Town of Ellettsville with the log cabin relocation. In order to keep you connected, Smithville teammates tied and lifted our cables as the cabin passed through.
