The older-than-Pella Tuttle Log House is going under some much needed restoration this week to prepare for the Tulip Time Festival.

Workers from the Acorn Ridge LLC construction team are hard at work before those tours begin. Worker Mark Yoder told KNIA/KRLS News they get called in quite often for restoration on older historic cabins like this one.

“They told us to look for the worst logs here and switch out with new logs and the [concrete] chinking thing. Re-chinking it with rubberized chinking is going to be a big thing to try to restore it so the water doesn’t get back behind the logs and rot it,” says Yoder.

He also says this is the oldest log cabin his team has worked on. The constructors will be there until everything is clean cut and ready for Tulip Time tours. The cabin will be open starting this Thursday through Saturday from 10:00 am – 3:00 pm and Tuesday through Saturday beyond Tulip Time from 10:00 am – 3:00 pm at 608 Lincoln Street.
