Hidden in plain sight, on an old farm at the end of Garvey Avenue in Elsmere, beneath layers of wooden, aluminum and vinyl siding, lays an early 19th century log house. Recently discovered during a cultural resources survey, the cabin has become a Kenton County artifact, leaving its neighbors curious with questions about its historical significance and the stories that it can tell.
