Mansker's Station Historic Site is a staffed living history site which is maintained by the City of Goodlettsville, Tennessee. The site represents the Station built by Kasper Mansker in the late 18th Century. Reproduced very near the original site, Mansker's Station is approximately one-third the size of the original lacking only the full number of individual cabins which would have been in the original station.
Because the exact details of Kasper's original fort are lost in the mists of history, the modern builders studied descriptions of other forted stations in the Cumberland Valley to get an idea of what the fort must have looked like.
Only materials and methods which were used by the pioneer builders of the original forted stations were employed in the reconstruction. Accurate attention to authentic detail shows up in the skillfully joined logs, the use of wooden pegs instead of nails (which were hard to come by on the frontier), and the use of an adze to hew and smooth all of the flat wood surfaces.
