Long Description:
There are many surviving examples of early European pioneer
structures along the Blue Ridge Parkway. All are 19th-century log
cabins illustrating the occasional isolated existence of mountain
residents and the efforts of the original park planners to save log
structures as opposed to other types of larger farm houses they
found. The Jesse Brown Farmstead (Milepost 272.5) consists of a
cabin and spring house. Built by Brown before 1840 and moved 1/2 a
mile to the current location in 1905.
