Event: Building a Log Cabin.
In 1999, Woody Boggs began building a log cabin in Pettry Bottom. This cabin, built of yellow poplar logs, incorporates a kitchen built from the wormy chestnut boards of The Coffee Pot at Edwight. The Coffee Pot was for decades a favorite local gathering place and teen hangout near the bridge to Edwight. Reincarnated here as a kitchen, The Coffee Pot forms a bit of a historic backdrop to the music sessions that now take place on the cabin porch most Friday nights. Here Woody is measuring the next stone for the chimney.
