Wilbur Cahoon House
The Wilbur Cahoon House is one of the oldest homes in Lorain County, Ohio, United States. The house is 80 feet (24 m) long with 12 rooms, situated overlooking French Creek. Wilbur Cahoon arrived in Avon in 1814 from Herkimer County, New York with his wife, Priscilla and family; he was Avon's first settler and an early industrialist. Cahoon purchased 800 acres (320 ha) through a trade of 100 acres (40 ha) in New York. His new land was covered by a forest, and he and his family constructed a log cabin as a temporary shelter. In the following year, he began to build a sawmill nearby along French Creek, and in 1818 established a gristmill. The log cabin was no longer the Cahoon family home after 1826, when the present house was erected. Later in life, Cahoon entered into local public service:
