At the end of the one-mile walking tour is the Logan Log House. Quoting from the National Park Service:
Located nearby the visitor center is a two-story log house dating to the late 1700s. It was built by an early settler, Andrew Logan, in what is now Greenwood and later relocated to Ninety Six National Historic Site in 1968. The house is typical of colonial-era backcountry buildings. A fireplace would have been used for heat and cooking, furniture would have been scant and simple, and animals might have been quartered in a side-yard pen.
Today the structure is furnished as a tavern. They were more than just places to eat, drink, and sleep; taverns were places to conduct business. In colonial society, taverns held an important and vital role in the community. The Logan Log House, also referred to as the Black Swan Tavern, is the center of living history programs at the park.I visited in November 2015.
There is no fee to enter Ninety Six National Historic Site.
