Said to be the oldest log cabin in the United States, Nothnagle Log Cabin in Greenwich New Jersey is thought to have been built by early Finnish settlers in 1638.

Constructed from white oak logs, dove-tailed at the corners for extra strength, the cabin’s fireplace is also evident of Finnish workmanship because it is built with the chimney inside the structure, providing extra warmth, according to NJ.com.

Repairs to the cabin were done by hand by its former owner, Harry Rink, whose widow Doris sold the property in 2023 for $262,000 (£208k), which was far less than its original $2.9 million (£2.3m) price tag, reports Patch.
