Jesse and Polly Embry Harris built the Harris Log House four miles east of Jamesport between 1830 and 1836 after arriving with ten children and one slave. The Harris family reconstructed it in 1985. The last Harris owners were Dr. George Dowe Harris, a Jamesport physician, and his son James Aurand Harris, America's foremost children's playwright.
