Inscription. This two-story log cabin with rough V-notching is probably one of the largest original log structures of its kind. It was built near Lowell, Ohio in 1860 and served as a schoolhouse until 1918. The upstairs would have been used for the teacher's living quarters.

In later years the cabin was used as a general store, a residence, and finally a barn.

In 1986 Wayne Ingles donated the logs to the Farm and the cabin became part of the reconstructed Adamsville Village.
