The Henry Ford Museum integrated a 1950s Holiday Inn room, complete with
most of the exterior walls, bathroom, and furnishings and fixtures, into
its large exhibit hall.  A very significant bit of Americana, though
some might think a historic log cabin is more worthy of all that
effort.  It fits in so perfectly with cars, gas stations, Burma Shave
signs, and other roadside elements.

original query:
>>Has anyone ever moved an 15'3" x 17'5" log cabin into another
museum?  Would you share your experiences?<<
