Lucasville Post 363 cabin
A group of World War I veterans who had
charted Post 363 in Lucasville in 1920 got
together, planned and started to build a
log cabin in 1936. Poplar logs were
hauled, prepared, and erected. Used bricks
were cleaned and laid into the fireplace.
The cabin was completed later that year.
In 1992 a new building was built adjacent
to the cabin for Post functions as they
had outgrown the 500 square foot cabin.
The cabin is still used for special events
and reminds them of the heritage of the
veterans who came before them.
