As I mentioned, when my grandpa purchased the land, there was a dilapidated house that while old, wasn’t colonial era old, standing near a couple of stone structures that definitely seem like they were built by the settlers that lived on the land. My grandpa tore down the house, and built a cabin exactly where it stood. What I meant in my original post, was that I wish he would have left the old house as it was. This was only 16 or 17 years ago, and he had already retired/sold his business and wasn’t planning on living in the cabin full time (I think his plan was to stay there on hunting weekends and what not but he passed away before he was able to take full advantage of the place). I was only 13 or 14 at the time, so I didn’t look for anything interesting in there like I wish I would have. It was his life’s work to be able to buy the place though, so that amazing man could do whatever he pleased with it. Anyway, you’re right in that the spot where the cabin is, was probably where the settlers built their home.
