This log cabin was originally located northeast of Creston in Lincoln Township. It was built by the Emhoff family sometime after the land was purchased in 1855. The family added rooms as their 9 children were born, and the cabin became the dining room of a much larger home. After it was donated to the Union Co. Historical Society in the 70's, the northeast side, fireplace, and roof were added, and the difference between the northeast and northwest walls remains visible.
