JOHN GABRIEL FORT HOUSE

The John Gabriel Fort House is a historic house in rural Logan County.
It is located at a bend in Reveille Valley Road, roughly midway between
Paris and Magazine. It is a single-story structure consisting of two
log pens joined by a side gable roof with a frame addition extending
to the rear. The logs have been hand-hewn square, and are joined
by dovetail notches. Built about 1848, it is one of the county’s oldest
buildings, and is its best example of a “saddlebag” style house.
