MORGAN LOG HOUSE
2026 Happening List Winner – Historic Spot
850 Weikel Rd, Lansdale, PA
https://www.morganloghouse.org/
The land the Morgan Log House stands on was originally deeded to the Commissioners of William Penn, who granted it as part of a 600-acre patent to a merchant named Griffith Jones in February 1702. Six years later, in 1708, a Welsh immigrant named Edward Morgan purchased 309 acres of land from Griffith Jones. Morgan and his family became the first settlers of the property. The family sold the property to John Yaekel, a German Schwenkfelder, in 1770. Yaekel built the existing log house sometime between 1770 and 1774.
Supervisor John B. Jacobs spearheaded a movement to save the house from demolition. A non-profit organization, the Towamencin Historical Society (now the Morgan Log House), formed during the restoration and began research on the home and its occupants. Restoration was completed in 1976, with the house opening to the public for tours that same year.
Today, the Morgan Log House continues to bring the past to life through tours, programs, and workshops that educate the public about how the lives of those living in the Morgan Log House and throughout the region illuminate the broader American story.
