The Mary Conrad Cabin is relocated to the Jackson's Mill Historic Area.

The Mary Conrad Cabin was originally constructed in 1845 with an addition in 1855. It is located in the Historic Area close to one of the main entrances and is a setting for living history demonstrations. The cabin consists of two structures connected by a dogtrot. The small two-story front structure has a rectangular plan and is built of square hand-hewn logs with white chinking. It has a wood shingle gabled roof and a front (north) porch that extends across the front of the building. The front porch has a shed roof supported by slender wood posts. The cabin has a chimney on the west side of the façade constructed of stone and brick. There is one 6-over-6 wooden sash window on each of the front, east and south elevations and one small nine-pane wooden fixed window on the second story west elevation next to the chimney. A door leads through the back wall to the dogtrot and rear addition. The two-story rear 1855 addition to the cabin is a rectangular structure.
