Walton Smith Log Cabin

The 1880s Walton-Smith Log Cabin was the family home of John and Nancy Walton and their three children.  After John’s death, Nancy married John Smith and they added to the house as needed.  When it was rediscovered in the 1980s, the original cabin had been totally encased by additions to the house.  In 1985, it was moved and rebuilt at the Museum by Cox Restoration in memory of Jay Cox.
