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 (to the Oconaluftee Visitor Center in Cherokee, NC) 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.

John E. Davis built the house with the help of his two sons, who were very young at the time. The sons gathered the stones for the chimney. Three more children were later born in the house.
