In 1868 when this area was covered with small farms, Prussian immigrants John and Mary Selinsky bought farmland in Erin Township and built this saltbox house using solid log construction covered with clapboard. The Selinskys gave the house to their daughter Ernestine when she married John Green in 1874. The property was owned by their descendants until 1974. Moved to this location in 1975 because of the construction of I-696, this house is now restored as a museum.
