Description
The Davis Cabin at the Mountain Farm Museum in Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
Likely built entirely from one American Chestnut Tree! Built with hand tools and still standing today. Many of the buildings and exhibits at the Mountain Farm Museum were originally located at different areas of the park and relocated.
I have always loved old buildings like these. Imagine traveling into what was the then complete wilderness and carrying everything you owned with you. Creating an entire life using only hand tools. I always try to imagine what America looked like with virgin forests and massive chestnut trees, no roads, asphalt jungles, shopping malls or pollution.
