Lansdale’s Log House

By Linda Tancs

The Morgan Log House stands on land originally deeded to the Commissioners of William Penn, who was granted the Charter of Pennsylvania from King Charles II on March 4, 1681. In 1708, Welsh immigrant Edward Morgan and his family (from whom frontiersman Daniel Boone is descended) became the first settlers of the property and later sold it to a German settler who built the log house that is now restored on the site. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the cabin reflects the lifestyle of colonial pioneers in the state. Access to the interior of the building is available via guided or self-guided tours.
