Description
On summer Sundays of long time ago, mountain families gathered here from miles around to hear circuit-riding preacher Willie Lee or Bill Church expound from the shade of a big maple tree. This reconstructed Mountain "Church" was mostly a weather shelter.
This cabin on the side of the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina was home to several tenant farmers who tended the cattle and sheep of Colonel John Horton, a prosperous resident of Lenoir, NC. The Jesse Brown family was one of the early tenants. The cabin was built in the late 1800s. By 1900 the residents wanted to be closer to the water supply. Rather than build a new cabin, they took this one apart and rebuilt it on its current site, board by board.
