The cabin is essentially the same both inside and out. Slabs of lumber, with their bark, cover the exterior walls, and the rustic red cedar posts that Burroughs helped set in place still uphold the porch. Inside the cabin, the furniture which Burroughs used, and much of which he made, remains as it was. The public may visit the John Burroughs Sanctuary throughout the year. A program of talks and nature walks in the Sanctuary begins at noon.
Admission is free.
Directions Slabsides is located in West Park, New York, on the Hudson River eighty miles north of New York City, and ten miles south of Kingston. Park here and walk up the hill to Slabsides.
