The Danz Cabins at LBJ State Park

The original Danz cabin dates from 1860 and was built by German immigrants at this location. A second cabin was not part of the Danz homestead, but moved here in 1974 and placed on top of the stone cellar that is believed to have been the foundation for the Danz's first cabin. Thus, it is called the "Cellar" cabin.

Both cabins are excellant examples of "dog trot" cabins, with two cabins connected by a "dog trot," or breezway.
