	Moving the cabin to its new home was aided by nature. On May 6, 2003 high waters (13 feet) on the [[MISSISSIPPI RIVER]] allowed Newt Marine to push a barge close to shore. This allowed Walser Crane Service to transfer the top portion of the cabin to the barge for river transport. The rest of the cabin was mapped out, deconstructed, moved, and reconstructed on the Center's wetlands. The top portion was placed by crane on its original base.
