Little Cosby Cabin
The little Cosby Cabin was originally located in Cosby, Tennessee near Gatlinburg in the Great Smoky Mountains. The cabin was attached with a dog trot to another cabin we erected, the Cosby Cabin. The Little Cosby Cabin was built first in the early 1800's with heart of pine hewn logs. The fireplace and logs were chinked with red clay. We have left evidence of newspaper used for insulation and a few traces of "white wash" for a lighter effect. Little Cosby and Cosby were taken down by Dan and his son. David Boyd erected the cabin on Boyd Mountainin the Summer of 1997. The fireplace was rebuilt with rock from Boyd Mountain, the original floor joists were used for ceiling and porch beams, the tobacco sticks on the railing and steps were originally hand split of pine by Dan's father, and the spring water comes to the cabin from the top of the mountain.
