Come in and make yourself at home! Like the namesake weathered log home in Appalachia Ohio where my great great grandparents raised three children in a close-knit farming community, the Creighton Cabin LLC is a digital home that holds the stories, artistry, and heart of family legacy.

​

​Just as that home and neighborhood witnessed countless stories unfold, this space invites you to slow down, explore, and connect with the place, its people, and their history. ​

​

The Creighton Cabin is a real place, built about 1874 by James and Catharine (Simeral) Creighton in the rural farming community known locally as Raven Rocks.  This website has grown into a place where we use the real cabin as the epicenter of our research but now find, trace, document, preserve, and share stories and artifacts related to Raven Rocks and the surrounding Captina Creek watershed in southern Belmont County, Ohio.  The main focus is on the 19th century residents and their kin.

Below, explore a map of our stories, to which we are always adding more!.
