The Log House
Hand hewn logs, cut on this ground and raised in the 1790's. Somebody covered them in brick in the mid 1900's. We are taking it off by hand.
The Latimers built it. The Browns saved it. We keep it.
Two families, more than two hundred years, and a house that outlasted both of them. Four doors in. Start wherever you like.

Four ways in
Where to start.
Each door opens on a different part of the story.
02
The Latimers
Charles Latimer built the house. His father Jonathan came home from Saratoga, put the family in ox carts, and brought them to Tennessee.
03
The Browns
The last family to own it privately, and the reason it is still standing. They had no obligation to this house and they took it on anyway.
04
The Park
0.805 acres, with the house at the middle of it, named in the codicil as the park's centerpiece.
There is a lot of work ahead, and we would welcome your help.
Every gift goes into the house and the ground around it. Thank you.
