Deerfield Historic Village Open for the Summer

Visit the oldest building in Lake County, the Caspar Ott log house (1837) and picture how Deerfield’s earliest settlers lived. Some of the five restored or re-created buildings include a farmhouse, one-room schoolhouse and carriage house. The schoolhouse has been a favorite with children for many years. Displays include “Deerfield History," from the first settlers through the 1950s. 

The Deerfield Area Historical Society created and maintains the Historic Village.  If you enjoy history and interacting with the public, the Historical Society welcomes you to volunteer.
