Here’s what Doppler readers had to say about this little log cabin:<\/span><\/p>\n

C.A Wiltse: As the sign states, it was an information cabin built by Larry Carle, if I remember correctly. Later moved to the little parkette beside Tim Hortons beside the bridge, used by the OPP as an outlying office. The dates escape me, sorry.<\/p>\n

John Smith added: It was there from mid 80s to late 90’s between the two locations I believe.<\/p>\n

Victoria Birchill Morgan: I worked there one summer when I was working at the chamber of commerce. Great little place to give the tourists a little bit of info on the shops, town and area!<\/p>\n

Gail Orr: The log cabin was put there for the OPP to have a downtown presence. It was later moved to the other side of the bridge behind Pizza Nova.<\/p>\n

Bev Belanger: 1967 Centennial year information\/tourism booth<\/p>\n

Brian Tapley: Right, the cabin was used by the OPP so they knew where to park and close to the only (at that time) Horton\u2019s in town! It was built by Hutley Log Homes in the 1970s I think and had several locations over its life. I wonder where it is now? It should be around as it was built like a rock.<\/p>\n
