Bradly-Bodkin Cabin  Thomas Bradley built his cabin around 1842. southwest of where Denison was later established. He came to this area with his parents in 1838. Bradley married twice and reared 14 children in the one-room cabin. Two openings, a window and a door, were sawed out with patient labor. Typically the first doorway covering was an old quilt weighted with a log; later a board door would be hung on leather hinges. The first window covering was greased paper, which turned away wind and water and admitted a dim light. Pioneers used any paper they had. Source: factsfornow.scholastic.com  Thomas Norman Bradley and his wife, Margaret  Coy & Hallie Wooten, the last owners of this cabin, donated it to Frontier Village in 1979.
