Summary

This the log house dates from about 1843 and was moved to this site in 1990 from War Ridge, a small community about six miles to the northwest. In the early 20th century it was the home of David and Ora Lively and their family of ten children. It included a large stone fireplace and living area on the first floor and sewing room and bedrooms upstairs. Eventually, the building was used as a barn. The log house was donated to the mill site by Bob and Betty Mullins of Greenville in 1990 after the roof was blown off by strong winds.
