1. Thompson House Marker
The Thompson House is a double pen log cabin. The basic log construction probably predates the Civil War.
In the 20th century a wraparound porch, rear framed extension weatherboard and central shed dormer were added. All but the dormer were removed back to the original log cabin. This house is a fair example of folk architecture.
Erected by Cumberland Furnace Historic Village Association. (Marker Number 5.)
