The original portion, made of logs, may be the oldest surviving structure in Pennsylvania and illustrates the building methods of the Swedish and Finnish settlers of the region. It was built in the late 17th century by Morton Mortonson, great-grandfather of John Morton, signer of the Declaration of Independence and is the earliest documented example of log cabin building in the United States.
