There are hundreds, if not thousands, of cabins scattered across the National Park System. But some are more significant than others.
Some helped shelter slaves on the Underground Railroad, some marked a homesteader's scrappy existence, some witnessed the births of great men and women. Do you know the story behind this cabin?

Texas Gal, your analytical approach to ID-ing the mystery structure puts me in mind of a project I got involved in during a summer I spent in Parke County, Indiana a long time ago. Under the direction of the eminent cultural geographer John Jakle, a bunch of us University of Illinois graduate students looked at every single rural residence in the county and classified them according to type/style and various characteristics of interest. After a few weeks, we got pretty good at it. If you're familiar with the works of Robert Bastian and Douglas Meyer, you have a pretty fair idea of what we were doing.
BTW, is the Katy Rice Harvest Festival still being produced every year?
Still in full swing every autumn. Always a good time with goodies and folks you only find here in Texas.
Is it the birthplace of Robert E. Lee?
Not a bad guess, but not the right one. Lee's birthplace was much more substantial. You can see it here.
Let's see...It's either Frederick Douglass or Harriet Beecher Stowe birthplace. Kurt, this one is tough!
Neither one, I'm afraid.
Patrick Henry birthplace?
