Save to foursquare This log cabin is the oldest structure in Poolesville, MD, originally built in 1793 by John Poole, Jr., according to The Historic Medley website. As a store and trading post, this house connected the local farmers and business owners with traveling merchants. In 1810, the store established the first Poolesville US Post Office. As a museum and gift shop now, visitors can continue to learn more about Poolesville.
