History
James A. Garfield was born in a cabin in the wilderness on November 19, 1831. The cabin was 20 by 30 feet, made of unhewn logs, notched and laid one upon another in what was called the “cob house” style. The height was 12 feet or more in front and 8 feet or more on the backside. The spaces between the logs were filled with clay or mud, making a warm home for winter and a cool one for summer.
