LaCharrette Cabin Replica
Located in Wessel park near the Katy State Park Trailhead. Research tells us these homes were more the size of a small log cabin, perhaps 15 by 20 feet or so. The construction style used vertical logs filled with a mixture of grass and mud called bousillage.The village always has been described in disparaging terms -poor, miserable etc.-on the very frontier and occupied by some pretty rugged characters. The homes were not great structures but most likely very modest. Probably dirt floors, center fire places, (often described as a double chimney) made from limestone rock from the nearby bluffs. There were perhaps one or two windows (no glass). Most were left open, others covered with dried skin of some type. One or two rooms with lofts for sleeping, perhaps a bed or two constructed into the walls, all wooden peg construction, shingle roof, wooden benches and tables.
