Comstock Cabin
This one room log cabin, built in 1836 according to the Midland design style, was the first permanent residence in the settlement that became Owosso. It was the home of Elias Comstock and his wife, Lucy Lamson Comstock. Over his long life, Comstock was a merchant, school teacher, justice of the peace, township supervisor, judge and county clerk.
Over the years, the Comstock’s made frame additions and added a long front porch to the cabin. The cabin itself became the living room. Lucy and Elias Comstock were married for 59 years when Elias died on October 23rd, 1886. Lucy died on April 2nd, 1890 and the home passed to the Leitch family, then the Corey family until a discovery by an oil company in the 1920's uncovered a historical treasure.
