We are told this is the first log cabin built in Jefferson County, Kentucky, with rooms upstairs. It gave George Rogers Clark the first place he could call home in Kentucky. Only the unfilled entrance to the cellar remains to mark the lo cation of the house which lies within the artillery range grounds of Camp Zachary Taylor. The photograph is placed in this book to show the kind of a house the Chenoweth family had. The windows had no glass in them, but the Openings for windows and doors were provided with shutters of heavy timbers and closed with bars, affording protection against the ri?e balls the Indians might fire at the house when making an attack.
