Gonna give the Golden Uni to Bill today.

There were some close-but-no-cigar replies but Bill was on track with his answer.

The log cabin originated in Finland. Finnish settlers arrived in Delaware in the mid-1600s and brought with them plans for the log cabin, one of the enduring symbols of the American pioneer. One of the cabins has been preserved and is on display at the Delaware Agricultural Museum in Dover.
