Patton cabin

Picture
The John Patton Log Cabin is a log home located in Lexington Park District Park in Lexington, Illinois. The home was built in 1829 by John Patton, an early settler of McLean County. Patton, who was originally from Switzerland County, Indiana, came to a Kickapoo village in the area; he built his cabin with the tribe's assistance three months after his arrival. After McLean County was incorporated in 1831, the cabin became one of its first polling places. The cabin is now the only surviving early government building in the county as well as the only remnant of European interactions with Native Americans. Members of the community decided to preserve the cabin and worked with The City of Lexington to have the cabin moved to its current location and repaired in 1969. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 1, 1986.
