Surprisingly well preserved cabin from the beginnings of the settlement in the park area. Built in 1872 by loggers Israel and Thomas Gamlin who exploited a logging claim on 160 acres in General Grant Grove for a few years until the creation of the park in 1890. It served as a storage and later was the first home for the rangers in the early years of the 20th century.

The Gablin cabin was built in 1872 by loggers who had received a concession in this forest a few years before the creation of the park.
It then logically served as the first home for the rangers, at the very beginning of the national park.
