Logan Vandeveer, born in 1815, came from Kentucky in 1833 and was badly wounded fighting for Texas at San Jacinto in 1836. He moved here in 1849 to sell beef to Fort Croghan, became one of the organizers of the county, and served as the town's original postmaster. In the early 1850s he built this house near Hamilton Creek for a daughter. It stood at 502 South Water Street, and in 1973 the Burnet County Historical Society moved it here for preservation. Its porch was floored with stones from an early Burnet County courthouse.
