Shortly thereafter, The stone cover building and walls were built entirely around the cabin by the Works Progress Administration to ensure the preservation of this monumental historic landmark designated by the Secretary of the Interior as a National Historic Landmark.

The grounds are maintained with picnic facilities, restrooms, playground areas to accommodate group tours and outings for school groups.
