Department of Arkansas Heritage The Chism House in Logan County is one of the oldest two-story log houses with a dog trot in Northwest Arkansas. It was built by Dr. Stephen Chism in 1845 on homesteaded property 22 miles south of the Arkansas River as a wedding present for his first wife, Jeanette Logan. In the 1860s, the house was sold to the William Wayne Williams family. The house is still owned by the Williams family, and an extensive restoration of the house was recently completed.
