- Nothnagle Cabin is said to be the oldest home in America.

America's oldest home is for sale.
The log cabin, which dates back to 1638, has lasted this long with the help of its current owners, Harry and Doris Rink - who have taken the property under their wing, and have been living in an attached house since 1968.
History doesn't come cheap - with a $2.9 million price tag, the home includes all the artifacts inside, as well as the Rinks themselves, who want to remain on the property and continue to give tours of this historic site.
According to Harry, people lived inside the cabin until 1918, and the attached home that the couple resides in was built in the early 1700s. "We have the deed to the property dating back to 1791," Harry told The New York Times in an interview.
Restoration projects completed by the Rinks include reinforcing the walls with clay, and removing plaster that was on the interior walls. The property is 1,800 square feet, and has been on the market since June of 2017.
