It was moved in 1978 to Ricky Greene Town Park on South Livonia Road.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the cabin is a rare surviving settlement-era log cabin in the northern Genesee Valley, one of only five known from the early nineteenth century. It shows early building techniques and living conditions in western New York. It keeps a high level of integrity despite its 1978 relocation. The Keeper later limited the significance to architecture, with the period of significance set at 1816.","narrative":"Built in 1816 by Isaac Kellerman, this squared-log cabin measures twenty by thirty-four feet and has adzed logs with dovetail corners, mud chinking, a fieldstone chimney at the east end, and a cedar-shake roof. Inside, the log walls are exposed, a large stone fireplace anchors the east side, and an open stair with winders leads to a loft. Kellerman and his wife Catherine raised nine children there, on the early Dansville-Conesus stage road. The cabin is one of only five known survivors of its era in the northern Genesee Valley, since most early log cabins in western New York were demolished or hidden inside later frame buildings. In 1978, after new owners of the original site offered it to the town, the cabin was carefully labeled, disassembled, and rebuilt in Ricky Greene Town Park with grants, donations, and volunteer labor. It now serves as a local history museum. Its listing recognizes its architectural importance as a rare example of a nearly vanished building type.","period_of_significance":"1816-1955 as nominated; amended at listing to 1816","architect_builder":"Isaac Kellerman","architectural_style":"Other: squared-log cabin","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Currently the headquarters of the Ganeasos History Keepers, the local historical society, and opened for town celebrations and school history programs; used for storage by the town after its move.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:53.872365-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/05001615.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/05001615/7f126f9f33-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/05001615/7f126f9f33-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Jerrye &amp; Roy Klotz, MD","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:KELLERMAN_LOG_CABIN,_CONESUS,_LIVINGSTON_COUNTY.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Jerrye &amp;amp; Roy Klotz, MD</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:KELLERMAN_LOG_CABIN,_CONESUS,_LIVINGSTON_COUNTY.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75318661","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kellerman_Log_Cabin","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6385692"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/livingston-county/kellerman-log-cabin-05001615/"}
