Tschantz Log Cabin

John and Anna Tschantz, their son Abraham and his wife Anna arrived in the Kidron Sonnenberg area in 1821 and by 1824 had built this log cabin. Abraham and Anna lived in this cabin all their lives, raising 5 children there, John, Abraham, Elizabeth, Peter and Anna. The cabin has remained on the same site, although the farm eventually passed outside the family. Cousins Vic Schantz and Dave Tschantz, direct descendants of Abraham Tschantz, have agreed to restore the cabin.
