The 1835 Barker Family Log Cabin is OPEN!

We had our wonderful Grand Opening Celebration on June 3rd 2023 in combination with the Hamilton County Bicentennial month for Washington Township. We will post more pictures about it on our Museum Software Collections Website, but here the big moment of the opening!

The 1835 Barker Family Log Cabin is open when the Museum is open, which is most Saturdays from 10a-2p, and also by appointment. School groups can be accommodated by appointment as well.

Extra Opening Days June 14-16!

Update on the Barker Log Cabin Reconstruction!

Our President Diana Peyton did a wonderful job not just on the reconstruction of the cabin but also documenting EVERY STEP of the reconstruction. It went fast and took so much time from her and others in the historical society and the many volunteers. Most of the progress was documented on our Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/WestfieldHistory

Over time we will also add more information and some of our research here - and who knows, maybe even publish a book about it!

Michael K shot this video below with a new to him DJI gimbal, sorry the video is a big jerky, but thought it would still be nice to look at! This was done in May 2022!
