Heman Canfield Log
Cabin
The Heman
Canfield log Cabin was built in 1838 in Chesterfield
Township,
Fulton County Ohio. The Canfield's lived in the log cabin for twenty-two
years. James and Lydia Breese Deyo purchased the log cabin in 1893 and
lived there until James dies in 1931. The last owner of the log cabin
was Emmett Lasalle who purchased the log cabin on
March 10,
1954. He lived
in the log cabin until November 1976. The log cabin was never equipped
with electricity or running water. In 1981 the log cabin was acquired,
dismantled, and moved to the
Main and
Lincoln Streets in Delta, Ohio
. His son Rapheal Reighard, later opened the blacksmith shop. A working
forge for more than 138 years, it was the last blacksmith shop in Delta.
The late Mrs. Rapheal (Ethel) Reighard donated the blacksmith shop to
the Fulton County Historical Society, and it was moved to the Fulton
County Historical Society in 1972. Today the blacksmith shop still
remains a working forge, and houses antique tools and other artifacts.
The blacksmith shop is housed at the Fulton County fairgrounds
