The Morgan Township Historical Society meeting held on April 12, 2025, focused on the exploration and preservation of local history, particularly the identification of original log houses in the area. The discussion highlighted findings from an 1882 encyclopedia that documented the existence of three log houses in the township, prompting a search for their locations and historical significance.

One of the log houses was reportedly near California Pike, associated with the Bittinger Saw Mill, but confusion arose regarding the exact location due to discrepancies in historical records. The meeting revealed that North McLean Street, mentioned in the 1882 text, may have been misidentified, as current residents were unaware of its existence. The group speculated that it could have been an error in translation, as they traced the history of local roads and properties.

The second log house was linked to a photograph of a structure that had been moved to Governor Beb, while the third was believed to be on the old Atherton Farm, where ongoing efforts to locate it included plans for archaeological investigations. The society is actively seeking information from residents about any remaining log houses or foundations, emphasizing the importance of community involvement in preserving local heritage.

The meeting underscored the society's commitment to documenting and understanding Morgan Township's historical landscape, as they continue to uncover stories and artifacts from the past. The search for these log houses not only aims to preserve history but also to engage the community in recognizing and valuing their local heritage.
