John Gebhardt hopes Saturday's wedding at Quinsippi Island's log cabin village will spark interest in one of Quincy's most unique and rustic attractions.

Gebhardt is president of the Friends of the Log Cabins, which is restoring the buildings and wants the public to use the resource. The village was originally formed in 1968 and includes the Lord's Cabin church, Herleman Cabin, Fraser Cabin, Hull Cabin, Clat Adams Cabin, Niere Corn Crib and the Mays Smoke House.

Quinsippi Island is accessed by a one-lane bridge from All America Park off of Bonansinga Drive. Nearby are two shelter houses, playground, water fountain and restrooms.

The cabins, the oldest of which dates back to 1828, were donated by the owners of descendants of the original owners. They were disassembled, moved and reassembled 40 years ago as part of the original Quinsippi Island entertainment complex.

The Quincy Noon Kiwanis, Rotary, Lions, Chamber of Commerce and Park District were involved in reassembling the structures. Knights of Columbus volunteers erected the log cabin church, which depicts Quincy's first church built near Fourth and Maine and is made from logs dating back to the 1800s.
