Inscription. This residence was built east of Camden on land granted to John Bradley. It was moved on a flatbed and restored. The construction and interior's large room with sleeping loft (not accessible) are typical of early log cabins in the area. Note the flat sandstones used in the chimney (rare for the area) and fine dovetailing of the logs. Most of the 12-inch wide floor boards are original.

Erected 2012 by Troop 38/Ian Redmon Signage Eagle Scout Project.
