Jackson County cabin built from one poplar tree
Editor’s note: This article first appeared in The Smoky Mountain News in July 2004.
I recently read about a log cabin built in Jackson County approximately 140 years ago. I’m interested in this particular cabin because it was reputedly constructed from a single huge tulip poplar tree. I’m devoting this installment of Back Then to that cabin in the hopes that a reader will know if it still exists.
