This hewn log house was constructed from logs salvaged from two early Keytesville residences.  Friends of Keytesville received a gift of logs from a house owned by Ernest Bentley, Jr., and acquired additional logs from the Jack Dameron house, some of which date from 1840.  These acquisitions allowed work to begin on an authentic one-room log house.  The 16 x 16 foot single-pen structure with loft includes a lean-to addition and porch.  Building practices were kept as authentic as possible.
