C. A. Nothnagle Log House

One of the oldest log houses in North America, the C. A. Nothnagle Log House also known as Braman-Nothnagle Log House is a historic landmark of Gibbstown. Built by Finnish settlers in 1638 and 1643 the cabin features a fireplace with Scandinavian ironware from 1590s. The cabin is made up of double-dovetailed oak logs fastened with hardwood pegs and a roof without a ridgepole. Still privately owned, the iconic log house was added to National Register of Historic Places in 1976 and is open to public visits through tours.
