1. Logan Log House Marker
Andrew Logan built this house in the late 1700s. The house was the first home built in the nearby town of Greenwood, SC and was actually found hidden in the core of an old house. It was moved here in 1968 where it was put under the protection of the Star Fort Commission then the National Park Service.
Today it is used as an interpretive tool and stands as an excellent example of an early American two story log house. The Logan House helps us connect to our past by being a great example of early American life and preserves a building that represents how life used to be.
Erected 2009 by National Park Service.
