The Kammlah House began in 1849 as a one-room structure, and grew through the years with the addition of three kitchens, a cellar, a stone patio, bedrooms and living areas.  When the Historical Society purchased the Kammlah property in 1955, four generations of Kammlahs had lived in the house.  A barn and smokehouse are part of the original property owned and run by the Kammlah family.  Between 1870 and 1924, the Kammlahs operated a general store in the front rooms.
