Memorial Plaque at the Alumni Pavilion

The Log Cabin is a historic building located within the confines of The Rutgers Gardens, Rutgers University's beautiful arboretum and Botanical Garden. The Cabin was built in 1936 by the Work Project Administration (WPA) at a cost to Rutgers University of $5,000 in materials. It is equipped with a spacious lounge, two large stone fireplaces, kitchen facilities and a back porch which overlooks scenic Weston's Mill Pond.

In 1993, the Cook/CAES Alumni Association secured the funds to construct the Alumni Pavilion as a covered, open walled supplementary structure to the Log Cabin. The Pavilion is a 40' x 60 ' picnic pavilion accommodating approximately 200 people. An attractive memorial brick patio joining the Cabin and Pavilion was added soon after the pavilion's completion.

The Log Cabin & Alumni Pavilion complex, which is managed by The Rutgers Gardens and rented as a single facility, hosts a large number of corporate events, weddings, parties, and campus events each year (April through October). Having your special event at the Rutgers Gardens helps to secure the future of the Garden. The Gardens are primarily self supporting. Proceeds from the Log Cabin/Pavilion events help provide the funds needed for maintenance of the Gardens, new plant additions, student employment within the gardens, and monthly expenses.
