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.
