Joseph Rice Cabin
The other notable building is the Rice Family Log Home built in 1828. After it was given to the park by a Rice family member in was restored and moved to it’s current location in the park in 1974. It has been modified many times over it’s 160 years history but the log form remains original and it stands as an example of pioneer housing. Mr. Rice opened his home many times to adventurers and travelers as they crossed Texas on The Old San Antiono Road.
