This is a hog pen. The farmers had razorback hogs that would run wild until the fall.
Then, they would round up the best hogs and put them in this pen.
The top and log held in place by the "x" supports were not to keep the hogs in.
It was to keep the bears out!

This is inside the spring house. They would keep their butter and other cold storage items on the rocks.

The tour made for a nice walk.
