"Lighthorse Harry" Lee Cabin, also known as Lee Cabin, is a historic home located in Lost River State Park, near Mathias, Hardy County, West Virginia. It was built probably around 1820 by Charles Carter Lee (1798-1871), the son of Henry "Light Horse Harry" Lee III (1756-1818) as a summer retreat. The property remained in the Lee family until 1879. The State of West Virginia acquired it in the 1930s as a portion of Lost River State Park and the state operates it as a museum.^[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.^[1]
