Wilson Mountain Part One

Anyone who has spent any time walking the paths of Wilson Mountain off Route 135 will recognize this forlorn chimney standing on a small hill a short distance from the parking area. Some of you (myself included) will remember a time when a log cabin stood on the site, and you may have even had some nighttime adventures here. I’ve been researching this part of Dedham recently, and have discovered some amazing facts, the first of which I’ll share in the form of this short item from the Dedham Transcript of December 27, 1924.

*Some of the logs still remain on the ground*

*You can see the impressions of the logs that once made up the walls of the cabin*

MORE TO COME!

That’s how I remember that lig cabin 45 years ago, and the big red barn behind Queen of Apostles that ended up being burnt down.

  There’s a few pictures of that barn in an earlier post I did. It was pretty cool.

I often wondered what that chimney belonged too. Any pictures of the log cabin?

  No, it’s been collapsed for close to 50 years at least!
