Umhoefer House

History
3
This two-story log cabin was built by newlyweds Gregory and Anna Marie Umhoefer in 1856. Together they raised eight sons and daughters in this tiny home. A handprint in the stairwell plaster is that of Anna’s brother returning from the Civil War, when, as the story goes, he did not know the plaster was fresh.
