Dietrich Cabin, Pioneer log cabin in Ottawa, United States
The Dietrich Cabin stands in Ottawa City Park, constructed from solid walnut logs with one and a half floors following traditional frontier building methods.
German immigrant Jacob Dietrich built this dwelling in 1859 after his first home burned down, making it the oldest remaining house in Franklin County.
The building represents the living conditions of 19th-century German settlers in Kansas through its architectural elements and interior arrangement.
Visitors can explore the cabin during summer Sunday afternoons through guided tours organized by the Franklin County Historical Society.
The structure maintains its original 1859 configuration following a complete restoration in 1961 that removed later additions to the farmhouse.
