Description
I love the crooked log holding up the front porch of this rustic old cabin. It adds so much character to the home. At the same time, I can just imagine the fight that took place over it! Mrs. Brinegar saying I don’t want that crooked post and her husband replying, it’s good enough, Woman, I’m not chopping down another tree, it took me all day to hewn that one! LOL
Located at milepost #238.5 along the North Carolina section of the Blue Ridge Parkway, is the Brinegar Cabin. This authentic Appalachian mountain home was built in 1880 by Martin Brinegar for his family. His widow lived here until the 1930s when the Parkway purchased it. This one-story log house is covered with lapped siding and rests on a stacked fieldstone foundation. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
