Inscription. Early Ohio settlers often built their log cabins close together for protection, company and cooperative clearing and farming.

The first such settlement in Sandusky began in 1790 with the western migration of "burned out" Connecticut families occupying the new "Western Reserve" and "Firelands" later surveyed by Moses Cleveland in 1796 and named the Ohio Territory.

The cabins here are original dating back to about 1850 and were moved to this site from nearby townships.
