Zachariah Price Dewitt Cabin, Pioneer log cabin in Oxford, United States.

The rectangular wooden structure features traditional log construction methods with limestone foundations and a central chimney on Miami University grounds.

Built in 1805 by Zachariah Price DeWitt, this cabin represents the initial settlement period when Kentucky families moved north for new land opportunities.

The cabin demonstrates early American frontier architecture and construction techniques, with carefully fitted logs and traditional limestone masonry work.

Visitors can explore the cabin during Sunday afternoons between Memorial Day and Labor Day, with parking available at the designated DeWitt lot.

This structure stands as the oldest building in Oxford Township, predating the establishment of both the township and Miami University.
