The C. N. James Cabin is a frontier-style log cabin, originally used as both a store and home, constructed in 1868. It was later also used as a church. It stands in what is now Augusta, Kansas, United States. The builder and proprietor of the store was Chester N. James, a merchant who moved to the area to establish a trading post. James was a central figure in the organization of Augusta Township and eventually the incorporation of Augusta itself. Augusta is named for James' wife. The C. N. James Cabin was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.[2] It has been restored to its original appearance and is now the part of the Augusta Historical Museum, which is operated by the Augusta Historical Society.
