Nehemiah Magee House, located southwest of Mt. Hermon, Louisiana, is a historic house built around 1810 and expanded in the mid-19th century. Initially, as one-room log cabin, it evolved into a large farmhouse and is one of the few remaining log structures of its age in the region.
The house is significant as the home of Nehemiah Magee, a prominent local politician and participant in the 1861 Louisiana secession convention. It has remained in the Magee family, retaining historical features despite alterations. The house's evolution from a simple log cabin to a larger farmhouse showcases the architectural development in the area during the early 19th century.
