Built in the early 1930s by one of Island Park’s first settlers. Open for tours usually beginning in June, but still a picturesque setting all year round
It's a great look at history - seeing how Mr. Sack built his cabin and how it was like to live off the land back in that time.
While some may recognize the name “Johnny Sack” as that of the fictional crime boss of the Lupertazzi family in the HBO TV series The Sopranos, there’s a former Island Park resident named Johnny Sack who’s enjoyed a bit of fame in the decades since he died. Standing at just 4 feet, 11 inches, Island Park resident Johnny Sack built a cabin near Big Springs in 1929, handcrafting an adjoining water wheel to run electricity to his cabin. His woodworking skills were so fine on both the cabin’s exterior and interior that his property was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. To give an example, one of his ceiling lamps contains 72 individual pieces of wood. Visitors can tour his cabin between mid-June and mid-September from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily. Donations are appreciated. The property is administered by the U.S. Forest Service.
