All members of the Lehigh County Log Cabin Trail Committee provided important advice and information essential to the research and development of the text included on this website. Donald Breininger and Reynold Reinert went far beyond the call of duty and identified numerous log buildings during the course of several field trips throughout Weisenberg and part of Lowhill Townships. Similarly, Richard Klase provided necessary information regarding the locations of a number of log buildings in the southern section of the log cabin trail. Greg Huber and Richard Klase also provided professional insights pertaining to dates of buildings, construction methods, and European origins of the original builders of some of the log structures. Sharon Haas and Charles Kiernan also provided information pertaining to log buildings with which they are involved. Steve Long and Bruce Mordaunt provided financial and other support for certain necessary tasks involved in the preparation of the trail. Steve Long and Noreen Yamamoto, both representing the Shelter House Society, also provided additional research assistance. Bruce Solt provided valuable information and assistance pertaining to Hunter’s Cabin. Willard Snyder provided important information pertaining to the Zeisloff Log House and rebuilt Fort Everett.
      Very special appreciation is extended to retired architect John Heyl (now age 102 and living in Maine), formerly of Allentown, who kindly provided essential assistance and information regarding Hunter’s Cabin in Lehigh Parkway in Allentown, PA. Mr. Heyl was directly involved in the restoration of this log building in the late 1930s.
      Appreciation is also extended to WLVT-TV PBS Channel 39 (Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton) for the special care and professional expertise they provided in filming and producing a special five minute segment about the Lehigh County Log Cabin Trail for their “Tempo” television program, and for granting permission allowing inclusion of that segment on this website. The segment was produced by Erin Flynn along with her photographer Matt Villano and their intern Drew Szabo.
      Eagle scout candidate Chris Jones, and several additional Boy Scouts he supervised, provided additional significant assistance by conducting interviews of the various building owners included on the Lehigh County Log Cabin Trail, and helped refine directions to the various buildings, so that the website Chris designed and created for this project attained professional quality.
      Photographs used on this website were provided by Donald S. Heintzelman, Lynn-Heidelberg Historical Society, and Weisenburg-Lowhill Historical Society.
      Finally, the Log Cabin Trail Committee extends sincere appreciation to each of the owners of the wonderful buildings included on the Lehigh County Log Cabin Trail for agreeing to cooperate on this unique and pioneering project.
