The marker reads:
This 1790 log cabin was the office of the James King Ironworks, which was located at the junction of Beaver and Steele Creeks near Bristol, TN. When the city announced plans to construct its waste-water treatment plant on the site in 1950, the little cabin appeared doomed Virginia Caldwell had it moved here to save it.
It now houses Mrs. Caldwell's collection of 19th century spinning and weaving equipment.
