It is a one-story 16 by 20.5 feet (4.9 m × 6.2 m) log cabin which was built in 1846 by Norwegian immigrant Gullik Halverson, who came to Wisconsin in 1845 when 23 years old. He came with his parents from Valebo, Norway.[2]

It is built of apparently hand-hewn logs, with dovetailed corners.[2]

It was moved to its current location in 1907.[2]
