Callahan Farm
A 102-acre high-elevation farm at 1,420 feet near Camel's Hump, featuring a low-hung house surrounded by gardens, shrubs, and vines, with a picket fence, barn, summer house, and spring-fed pond. Originally Callahan's Farm (c. 1865–1924), it served as an eastern gateway to the mountain with parking and trail access. Purchased and renamed by scholar Will S. Monroe in 1924, it operated as a guest house and nature preserve until his death in 1939. Bequeathed to Vermont as a sanctuary; the farmhouse was removed in the early 1970s due to deterioration. Still standing: ranger cabin built 1973.
Private lodging house operated by Mr. and Mrs. W. V. Stork on the Wallingford-East Wallingford Road where the Long Trail crosses, offering food and garage services. A separate house 3/4 mile away accommodated up to 6 hikers and featured a good stove. First listed in the 1935 Long Trail Guide Book, the facility provided trail registers, mail service, and emergency call relay through the mid-1940s. No longer standing.
Somerset Dam Caretaker's House
A private residence built circa 1917-1930 at Somerset Dam in Somerset, Vermont. The caretaker's cabin provided meals and lodging to hikers until 1930, when a trail relocation diverted visitors away from the dam. Operated by B.B. Leonard, the caretaker. The structure no longer stands.
Private residence at Long Trail Mile 26.9 in a small glen between Somerset Dam and Little Pond. From 1921-1942, farmhouses provided meals and lodging for Long Trail hikers. Located in a settlement of three families, the site was described as "a wild little glen, with its encircling hills; just one house visible around a corner." The structure no longer stands after trail relocation over Glastenbury Mountain circa 1930 redirected hikers away from Somerset Bridge.

McLean's Camp was a log house located west of the road, approximately 2 miles south of Johnson on the Long Trail. Built between 1922-1924 as a private residence, it served as a hiker shelter documented in the 1922 Long Trail Guide and continued operating through at least 1924. The facility eventually ceased operations in the mid-twentieth century and no longer stands. It was superseded by Whiteface Shelter, which became the primary shelter facility in this section of the Long Trail.
