Date: Circa 1850’s or 1860’s

Original location: Southeast of New Haven, 30 miles west of Gray Summit.

Construction: The Lee Lodge and Lodge #4 came from the same property. A German immigrant, Breckenkamp, built the buildings. The family lived on the homestead until the last member of the family passed away in 1995.  The original workmanship on the Lee Lodge has been described as “phenomenal.”  The walnut front doors and doorjambs are original from the time of the Breckenkamps.  The cedar porch railings and posts were from the glade restoration project at Shaw Nature Reserve (SNR). The cypress flooring was from ammunition tanks in Louisville, Kentucky.
