Log Cabin Interior – Martins Station – Virginia
A rustic log cabin interior at Martin’s Station Wilderness Road Park, features a central stone fireplace surrounded by chopped wood and various hanging items like pots and utensils. The simple living space includes a bed with animal hides, rough wooden shelves, and primitive cooking tools.
Martin’s Station is located in Ewing, Virginia. Named after Joseph Martin, the station became an important stopping point on the western side of the Cumberland Gap, which now serves as the border of Tennessee, Kentucky, and southwest Virginia. For pioneers looking to settle on lands east of the southern Appalachia mountains, the station served as the last fortified settlement on the Wilderness Road entering Kentucky.
