Overfield Tavern Museum
This log cabin was constructed as a hotel in 1807 by Pennsylvania native Benjamin Overfield, but has served as a courthouse, jail, church and school. The rustic structure has lodged future presidents and stood as a testament to Troy's early success and the spirit of growth in this community and country. The logs on the building are held together at the corners with "inverted V" or "steeple" notchings and have miraculously stood the test of time. Currently, the building houses one of the finest collections of early 19th century household furnishings, used by early pioneers in Miami County. Many activities take place at the "tavern" throughout the year, and include living history programs and craft demonstrations.
