The Dewitt Log Cabin, built by Zachariah Price Dewitt around 1805, is the oldest remaining structure in Oxford Township. Dewitt, a Dutch-American pioneer, became a prominent figure in the early community, establishing a sawmill and contributing to Oxford's development.
Restored by the Oxford Museum Association, it now serves as a historical landmark. The restoration, completed in 2003 for Ohio's bicentennial, included repairing original timber walls, reconstructing the limestone chimney, and adding period-appropriate features. A nearby smokehouse was also restored.
