Kemper Log Cabin

 


  The Kemper Log Cabin was erected on Kemper Lane in Walnut Hills and was occupied on June 3, 1804.It is the oldest house now standing in Hamilton County. It was moved in 1912 to the Cincinnati Zoo by the Kemper Log Cabin Association to be preserved. I believe it is now located in the Sharon Woods Village.
