Events, Tours and Etc.

The Friends of the Log Cabins Association sponsors Open Houses, Tours and Events to encourage people to visit the Log Cabin Village and to utilize this great resource. School Groups and Senior Citizens have visited the site with members of the Friends Group providing personal tours of the structures along with some of the history behind each structure. Every structure in the village dates to the 1800's and was moved to this site from various locations in Adams and Pike County.

The Log Church can be reserved for small weddings, marriage vow renewals, or unique meetings. Large weddings can be held in front of the Church with the Log Cabin Village as a backdrop. A Shelter House nearby needs to be reserved to insure adequate parking is available. Call 217-223-7703 to reserve a shelter house.
