Our History
Originally built in 1805 as a home for the Conrad Naff family, this historic log structure is thought to be the oldest remaining log home in the Western Reserve. Throughout the 19th & 20th centuries, this property was owned by several farming families, two of whom also operated a tavern, or rest stop, for weary travelers. During the decade of 1835-1845, Loghurst served as a stop on the Underground Railroad, helping provide safe passage for slaves fleeing the slaveowners of the South. Reopened as a museum and dedicated to historical preservation.
