About Farnsworth Cabin

Farnsworth Cabin is tucked away in the northwest portion of Pennsylvania's Allegheny National Forest. Built in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps, the stone cabin is conveniently located 8.5 mi northwest of Sheffield. It was renovated in 2010 and now provides a variety of modern amenities, including electricity and heating, as well as telephone service, Direct TV, and internet. Visitors to the area enjoy fishing, hunting and viewing wildlife. The cabin can be accessed by vehicle, however mud during the rainy seasons can inhibit road travel. They should be aware of current weather conditions and the weather during their stay. Guests are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring some of their own supplies.

Farnsworth cabin is so special. It’s such a unique piece of history.
It was set up so well. We did a good bit of cooking during our four day stay and the well equipped kitchen made it so easy. The outdoor fire pit had a heavy duty grate over it that made outdoor cooking perfect.
We loved our stay there and will cherish the memories we made there for a lifetime.
