Coon Family Log Cabin is a historic log cabin located near Beaver Dams in Schuyler County, New York. It was built between 1938 and 1945, and is a one-story, irregularly shaped log dwelling with concrete chinking. It is a side gable roof and large stone chimney. Its design and construction was based on local Civilian Conservation Corps camp architecture. Also on the property are the contributing 1+12-story large frame barn and shed both built about 1955. It served as a residence for the Coon Family until 1959 and then briefly as a local museum.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.[1]
