Historic Bethabara -The Reconstructed 1754 Sleeping Hall at Bethabara
By early February 1754, the Brothers decided to build a sleeping hall to help relieve the crowded conditions in the Wagner Cabin.
The 13' X 50' reconstruction uses post-and-log construction techniques, with fence rails for the walls. This method of construction represents a transition between the log buildings of the earliest settlement and the timber frame buildings built later in the area of the fort. The fort will appear in a future post.
