Before Renovation The replica of the Josiah Crawford home is a one-store, gabled cabin with a wood-shingled roof. It stands facing south. Like most of the cabins, it has a fireplace chimney on the north and a hearth within. These chimneys are constructed of brick covered with mortar and sticks to resemble the crude daub chimneys of pioneer cabins. Occasionally, Abe and his sister Sarah worked for the Crawfords who were their neighbors. Abe read books belonging to them, one of which was The Life of Washington.
