Award Winning Documentary

This award-winning documentary tells the remarkable story of the 1802 Beaver Log House in Beaver, Pennsylvania—an ordinary structure that turned out to hold an extraordinary piece of American history. During what began as a routine demolition project, historians discovered that the logs used to build the house originally came from Fort McIntosh, a Continental Army headquarters constructed in 1778 during the American Revolution.

Through historical research, expert interviews, and on-site storytelling, the film traces the journey of these logs from a Revolutionary War fort to a 19th-century home, while documenting the challenges of preserving and restoring the structure. The result is a compelling 20-minute documentary that brings local history to life and highlights how unexpected discoveries can reshape our understanding of the past.
