Log structures in the US were first constructed by Swedes in what is now south-east Pennsylvania.
Today the construction of log cabins has been made extremely simple by the availability of ready-to-erect log cabin kits.
Logs used for building a cabin can not be picked on a random basis. They need to be selected carefully as logs with only a few knots are preferred, as such logs can be smoothed easily with a bit of whittling.
At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, a number of log cabins began to be constructed as a part of the United States Park Service, most of which were built as per the Adirondack style.
