Campbell Folk School in Brasstown would tell quite the tale.<\/p>\n<p>According to executive director Bethany Chaney, the rustic chalet was constructed at the request of founders Olive Dame Campbell and Marguerite Butler in 1926. Four years prior, the two women had traveled to Scandinavia to study folk high schools. A longtime fixture of the Danish countryside, these schools offered practical learning and cultural enrichment to regular working people.<\/p>\n<p>Inspired by their experiences abroad, Campbell and Butler returned to America and established their very own institution in Brasstown. But in addition to hands-on instruction, the women also wanted to \u201cpreserve aspects of traditional Appalachian life,\u201d says Chaney. That\u2019s where the museum came in.<\/p>\n<p>Moved by the cause, locals Cliff Waldroup and J.A. Caldwell each donated a cabin. \u201cBased on oral histories,\u201d says Chaney, \u201cone cabin was built before the Civil War, and the other was built in the 1890s.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_69445\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-69445\" class=\"wp-image-69445\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/History_5-Log-Cabin-Museum.-Photo-courtesy-of-John-C.-Campbell-Folk-School-copy-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"357\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/History_5-Log-Cabin-Museum.-Photo-courtesy-of-John-C.-Campbell-Folk-School-copy-2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/History_5-Log-Cabin-Museum.-Photo-courtesy-of-John-C.-Campbell-Folk-School-copy-2-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/History_5-Log-Cabin-Museum.-Photo-courtesy-of-John-C.-Campbell-Folk-School-copy-2-1024x731.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/History_5-Log-Cabin-Museum.-Photo-courtesy-of-John-C.-Campbell-Folk-School-copy-2-768x548.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/History_5-Log-Cabin-Museum.-Photo-courtesy-of-John-C.-Campbell-Folk-School-copy-2-810x578.jpg 810w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/History_5-Log-Cabin-Museum.-Photo-courtesy-of-John-C.-Campbell-Folk-School-copy-2-1140x814.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-69445\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Log Cabin Museum. Photo courtesy of John C. Campbell Folk School<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The cabins were moved from Cherokee and Clay counties to Brasstown. Twenty men ages 18 to 78 then reassembled the edifices, connecting them by a dogtrot.<\/p>\n<p>Once the 795-square-foot structure was complete, Campbell and Butler put out a call for \u201cfast-vanishing relics of early days.\u201d The surrounding community answered with enthusiasm. Per a Folk School brochure, the original list of museum furnishings ranged from \u201cone powder horn from Luther Mauney\u201d to a \u201cpair of tongs found in the streets of Murphy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, the museum was an interesting place to be. But in recent years, it has fallen into disrepair. \u201cThe building suffered from exposure to the elements,\u201d confirms Joe Harvey, buildings and grounds director.<\/p>\n<p>Hoping to restore the cabin to its former glory, Harvey has been working with Barry Stiles, director of The Foxfire Museum in Georgia, as well as Folk School staff and local community members. So far, the team has removed and trimmed trees, hewed logs for support beams, replaced the original fireplace hearths and upgraded the cedar shake roof.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe cabin has some really neat features,\u201d says Stiles. \u201cThe doors and window shutters all have handmade wooden hinges, which is something you don\u2019t see very often anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The floors are also made from split chestnut logs smoothed with adzes, an ax-like tool with an arched blade. \u201cThis type of floor was typical in the early 1800s,\u201d says Stiles.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the most noteworthy feature is one of the chimneys, which is fashioned in the \u201cstick-and-mud\u201d style. \u201cBasically, it\u2019s a chimney made from logs and daubed with clay,\u201d says Stiles. \u201cThere may only be two or three examples of this type of chimney in the entire state of North Carolina.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to Chaney, the remodel is expected to be complete by early 2025\u2014just in time for the Folk School\u2019s 100th anniversary.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRestoration enables the Folk School to use the historic structure as an educational space once again, in keeping with the original intentions of the school\u2019s founders and donors,\u201d she says. \u201cThis is particularly important to us as our 100th anniversary approaches in 2025. We hope the Log Cabin Museum will have another 100 years of life in it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The John C. Campbell Folk School is located at 1 Folk School Road, Brasstown.
