Felts Log House

This early nineteenth century log house is a classic example of traditional Kentucky architecture. The double-pen, story and a half structure with its dog-trot floor plan and poplar, oak, and walnut construction are typical of the folk architecture of the region. The structure interprets folklife in rural, south central Kentucky in the eighteen-thirties using reproduction household furnishings and equipment, tools, and clothing accurate to the period.
