Brotherton Cabin


Pictured here is the reconstructive cabin of George and Mary Brotherton who farmed in the area. There is a neat story here as Tom, one of the sons of George and Mary Brotherton, was used as a scout for Lt. General Longstreet and played a significant role in the Confederate victory here.
It is hard to imagine so many living in this size cabin. Today some children have their bedrooms this size.
