Built by the Cooper family circa 1810, the cabin was an original county homestead. It was enlarged after the Civil War and family descendants remained in the cabin until 1963. In 1976, the cabin and grounds were bequeathed to the Society.
The cabin is furnished with family heirlooms and memorabilia as well as other period pieces. Outbuildings include a spinning house and a springhouse. There is also an extensive herb garden graciously graciously maintained every year by the Herbal Thymes Garden Club of Saxonburg.
Cooper Cabin is open to the public for tours and special programs on scheduled Sundays in May, June, July, and August.
In 1823 a Methodist Class met, grew and in 1854 became the Knox Chapel Methodist Episcopal Church. It moved to Cabot in 1894, and exists as the Cabot United Method Church. (My Grandfather was the head past for many years and my parents were married in the church.)
The cabin is located on Cooper Road near Cabot, just off Route 356, approximately 9 miles south of Butler.
