The winter huts built at the Newfane, New York site were extensively documented utilizing a number of images from the Library of Congress. Multiple styles, from stockaded Sibleys to entrenched log huts to milled board structures were all represented.
While some of the collection has been broken up, extensive photographs remain in the files of the Winter of '64 Yahoo Group. It's not a chatty list-server, simply one we continue to maintain for the sake of the voluminous research contained therein.

Yassir, I used to be Mrs. Lawson. I still run period dyepots, knit stuff, and cause trouble.

If you feel like doing a little work... Do it right!
As stated above in Newfane NY, the 151st NY under Scott Schotts, Dennis Shanks and Craig Schaeffer built a replica of this hut using this picture as a guide. Naming it the Pine cottage.
As I understand it the winter 64 event huts were vandalized each year, creating more work to maintain the site , something to consider by anyone who puts the effort into a winter camp.
