The Sweeney log home is located about 1 1/2 miles north of the Old Courthouse, on the west side of Rt. 24. The original building was a 2-story log cabin, one room up and one down, built about 1823 or 1824 by Charles A. Sweeny. It had a large stone chimney. A one room cabin near the house served as kitchen and servants quarters. Additional rooms were added later. This home later became the home of their son, Charles H. Sweeney and wife, Mattie Jane Bryant. In an upstairs room of the old part of the house, school was held and taught by Mrs. Sweeney.
