What is Log Cabin Festival?
Log Cabin Festival is a county-wide celebration that began over 50 years ago. The Warren County Historical Society was given a log cabin which was moved to the museum site. To celebrate this gift and the beginning of the Heritage Village, a celebration was set up for the last full weekend of September. Through the years the village has gained a one-room schoolhouse, a country store, a church, a meeting house, a gazebo, an outhouse, George Washington Carver museum and a machine shed.
Each of these buildings require upkeep along with a museum full of antique treasures. The profits from Log Cabin Days is the Society’s major source of income, but fund-raising is not the only purpose for the festival. It is equally important to invite the community to see our wonderful buildings and artifacts which enrich our understanding of the past.
