Gideon Lincecum Cabin Dedication Saturday, September 4, 4:00 pm  Through the efforts of Mark Lincecum, and Larry Joe and Joanne Doherty, the cabin where Gideon Lincecum lived and worked has been moved from the Outpost Inn, in Round Top, to close to its original location in the Longpoint area. The new site is on Longpoint Rd., at the corner of SR 390. On Saturday, September 4, there will be a ceremony for the dedication of the cabin, featuring an appearance by Jerry Lincecum, who has written extensively about his relative.
The cabin will be familiar to our members who attended the graduation of the 2007 Fall class and were photographed in front of it. |
