Log Cabins Provided Shelter For Earliest Pioneer Families

The first Athens townsite settlers built log cabins near Ohio University along the Hocking River. They raised houses with notched ends, mud chinking, eight foot heights, and pole roofs with clapboards. Windows used greased paper, doors were clapboard, and latches were pulled from outside. Interiors had shelves and a large swinging crane in the fireplace for cooking. Families of up to ten lived in a single room, with heavy goods left behind in New England.
