From Wikipedia:

Christian Wetzel Cabin

The Christian Wetzel Cabin, near Junction City, Kansas, also known as the Louis Kettlass Cabin, was built in 1857 by Isaac H. Loder for $225 for Louis Kettlass. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.

It is a one-story log cabin with a loft.

The cabin was relocated in about 1955 by the Kansas District Lutheran-Laymen's League, which restored the structure and opened it as a Lutheran historical site and museum. The site was relocated again in 2004 to the west side of Junction City to the Spring Valley Historic Site.
