The Frederick Leaser Log Cabin is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In Revolutionary War times, Frederick Leaser was a Pennsylvania German farmer who helped to save the Liberty Bell (see Local Frederick Leaser Memorials section). The structure is a “bank” log building. Its north side appears to have two fairly distinct sections suggesting different construction times. The building currently needs major restoration work.

      Access: 7654 Leaser Road, New Tripoli, PA. From the previous building, continue farther along Route 143 for 3.6 miles to the intersection of Route 143 and Leaser Road in the village of Wanamakers. Turn right (north) onto Leaser Road and continue for 0.9 mile to the log cabin on the left between a farm house and a barn. This is a drive-by building. Please do not stop or trespass on this private property.
