Kendall Log Cabin
The Strong City-Kendall Log Cabin
An original log cabin from the early 1900's. The Strong City-Kendall Log Cabin was the original homestead of Charlie Guernsey after he made the Land Run on April 19, 1892. The logs were placed on a red rock foundation and chinked with lime mortar; so solid that it has survived occupation of nine different families and three moves.
The Kendall House was originally used as the townsite house. People who had made the Land Run, paid their filing fees at the townsite home. Many people lived in this home. The Kendalls lived here the longest; the Sam Kendall Family was the last.
The cabin is located in the Cheyenne City Park. It has been restored and furnished so that you can view all of the artifacts and furnishings inside. The log cabin is set up as a self-guided tour with window information as you walk around the cabin. On the North side of the cabin is a plaque telling its rich history. Viewing is possible any time of day, all year round.
