Knoles Log House

The Knoles Log House was originally built during the early 1820s on a farm William Knoles purchased in 1828. The site is now occupied by the Pixelle Specialty Solutions paper manufacturing plant in the south end of Chillicothe. Disassembled and moved twice, the house was reconstructed on the grounds of the Ross County Heritage Center and opened to the public in 1992. The house recreates the atmosphere of everyday life in early Chillicothe and Ross County from roughly 1800 to 1830 and features historical furniture and household furnishings from the period. Tours begin at the Ross County Heritage Center (45 West Fifth Street) during regular operating hours.
