The Yanda Log Cabin is located on Main Street in Glen Carbon Illinois. The cabin was built 1853 by William Yanda, the blacksmith of the Village. He and his wife, Annie Zeola, were immigrants from Bohemia, Austria. They raised 10 children in the cabin. Several descendants of the Yandas' lived in the cabin before it was eventually sold. Glen Carbon purchased the lot and the cabin in 1989 and began the restoration process. Interestingly, the "house" was going to be used as a practice burn by the Village fire department, but when the vinyl siding was removed to do so, the log cabin was discovered underneath!
Today the cabin is used for special events and is opened to the public on the fourth Saturday, April through October, from 10am to 2pm. Admission is free.
