1. Log Meeting House Marker
This log house was donated (2006) to the Sandusky County Agricultural Society by Carol Bender of rural Fremont.
The house was last refurbished in 1984 by Mrs. Bender's son Jeff. It stood on the Guyan Fenstermaker farm on Tiffin road, Ballville township, about 1,000 Ft. north of the Seneca/Sandusky county line.
Mrs. Bender's mother, Alice (Myers) Fensterrnaker, lived in this house when she was a little girl. Mrs. Fenstermaker's parents were Mary (Ensminger), and Clarence Myers.
Mrs. Fenstermaker had told her grandson, Jeff, the house was built during the time of the Civil War. (The property where it stood was first deeded in 1835. In fact, an Indian mission stood just north of this place.)
Of common dimensions, this 1½ story house was 24Ft. by 18Ft. Here at the Fairgrounds it was made seven feet longer. This building will now serve as a Schoolhouse and Meeting place.
