Elkton Log Cabin Museum
Originally built in 1865 by Enis Mayhew ¾ of a mile North of Pinnebog, it was donated to our society in 1986 by the then owners Dr. & Mrs. Henry Schoenhals of Port Austin. Members of the society with the help of the Elkton Jay-cees completed restoration of the two-story building in 1987. Items donated by Elkton area residents and on display are; old kitchen items, bottles, books, barber chair, hand corn sheller, bean picker machine, Elkton High School Trophies, small farm tools, pictures, tele-type machine and various other memorabilia.
The cabin museum is open to the public on Michigan’s “Log Cabin Day” the last Sunday in June from 1-5 p.m. Information on the Elkton log cabin can be seen on the Log cabin society of Michigan website. Also open during Elkton’s Autumn Festival Days from 1-9 p.m. on Friday & Saturday and 1-5 p.m. on Sunday of that weekend. Also opened by special request from interested persons or groups.
