The Williams Place is also the most intact collection of log buildings that have been identified in the state. The absence of later development or modernization, together with the heavily forested surroundings and the relative inaccessibility of the area, have provided for an extraordinary degree of historical integrity in the complex. The various log buildings include a small house, a large house, a kitchen, a smokehouse, a smithy, a well, two cribs, a privy, a ruined house, a log barn, a frame barn, a stable and a dam. Those buildings and structures associated with food storage and preparation are located in a close group around the main house.
