Mountain Farm Museum
Most of the buildings on a mountain farm related
to the most basic of all needs; preserving food.
The historic buildings at the Mountain Farm
Museum were moved here from throughout the
national park in the early 1950s. These buildings
reflect the challenges faced daily by every
mountain farm family.
John Davis spent two years building this
house near Deep Creek, North Carolina.
It was completed about 1900. The log
walls are "matched"; Davis split chestnut
logs in half along their length and placed
the halves in matching positions on
opposite walls.
Marker is on U.S. 441 ½ mile north of Blue Ridge Parkway.
