The Shinn Curtis Log House lies in the heart of an historic section of Mount Holly, New Jersey, USA.

It was in the possession of the Curtis family for 147 years, since 1802, and is now owned by the Mount Holly Historical Society.[3] The building was relocated from what had been Water Street and renamed Rocancas Boulevard.[4]
