In the early 1700's, the Tuscarora indian tribe staged raids against white settlers in parts of North Carolina. This old cabin was in one of those areas and it was in use at that time.


I had seen this place many times from the road that runs by the property. It's a large tract of land and the cabin sits way back from the road. There are signs every where prohibiting entry onto the property. 2 years ago, through the efforts of a friend of a friend, I was granted permission to go on the property and take pictures. The person who set it up for me is the land owners' nephew and he accompanied me while I was there. We were also joined by the land owner, an 80 year old lady who was as gracious as she could be. It was her great, great grandfather that built the cabin.

Through the years, the cabin was rebuilt many times. In fact, the stone chimney is the only feature remaining of the original construction, The lady and her sister were born in this cabin that existed at the time. When they were small children, the family moved into a more modern home. The cabin was allowed to deteriorate to the condition you see here.
