Notes
  • Significance: The Hedwigs Hill double log cabin represents the second phase of frontier construction, the utilization of two cabins connected by a central passageway, or "dog-run." The cabin was built in the mid-1850's, presumably by John Kline, who sold the 944 acre tract and his herd of cattle to Louis Martin in 1858. He called it Hedwigs Hill, for his oldest daughter. On June 16, 1864, Martin was murdered by bushwhackers while hauling freight to Mexico. Martin's widow leased the land in 1867 to John Keller, who established a mercantile business in the cabin. Anna Martin, Louis' sister-in-law and John Keller's daughter, leased the land in the 1880's, but never lived in the cabin. Her son, Max, took the lease in 1890, and lived there several years. The cabin was occupied until the 1930's. It was donated to the museum by the Arthur Esser and Allen Haag families of Boerne. In 1971, it was moved to the museum of Texas Tech University, becoming a part of the Ranch Headquarters complex.
