Inscription. Clinton Cabin is the only log cabin at Camp Muffly that is not an original settlers cabin. Constructed of logs cut from chestnut trees along Booth's Creek in Clinton District, Monongalia County, Clinton Cabin was built on this site in 1934. Wayne Watkins and Harry Muffly hauled the logs to camp, and Bill Frum hewed them. Clinton District residents built the cabin, in only two days. Allan Kramer's Smithtown 4-H Club purchased the materials for the cabin's roof for approximately $90. It became and remains today the cabin for the oldest boys at 4-H Camp.
