Raisch Log Cabin

The Raisch Log Cabin built approximately 1790 to 1810 is believed to be one of the oldest remaining log cabins in Mercer County. The cabin was discovered in 1977 during the razing of a house for development of the PNC Bank at 2470 E. State St., Hermitage and was originally moved to a site provided by Buhl Park trustees on Forker Blvd. Around 1995, A group of developers wanted to buy the land and approached the MCHS about moving the cabin. A site was located in Sharpsville near the Erie Canal Lock 10 (Pierce Lock) and the decision was made to move it to the present location.
