Did pilgrims live in log cabins?

The first European settlers, or Pilgrims, arrived in the New World in 1620 and initially lived in small, one-room houses. These houses were made of wood and had thatched roofs. Some Pilgrims also lived in dugouts, which were holes in the ground covered with logs and mud. As more settlers arrived and the colony grew, larger and more substantial homes were built, but log cabins were not widely used by the Pilgrims.
