The McPherson Sentinel reports a log cabin built by the August Olson family nine miles north and three miles west of McPherson, moved to town for the Kansas Centennial. A two story later frame addition expanded the home while the original cabin became the dining room.
The 7 cabin and its house, once part of a farming family, stood in a field near McPherson until 1940. The Lions Club secured title, moved it log by log to McPherson, and plan to reconstruct the logs with new cottonwood where rotten. The cabin is set to reopen in a McPherson park on U.S. 56 during Kansas Centennial year.
