The Winters Heritage House is one of the earliest log homes in Elizabethtown. The one and one-half story log house was built crica 1750 in a Scots-Irish tradition. It was originally located elsewhere, possibly on the Elizabethtown Square. 

Used a both storefront and dwelling, it was likely among the first structures built when Barnabas Hughes laid otu the town. As the town grew, George Carolus dismantled the building and moved it to its present location and reconstructed it as a much larger house. He built a bigger store on the Square.
