This Dog Trot Cabin was found in Shelby, NC. The Pioneer usually built a one room cabin, then when the family expanded, built another seperate one for sleeping and cooking, large families were teh norm, so sleeping space was a prime concern. This style of cabin dates from the 1690's in this country.

This museum was dedicated in 1997 in honor of Della Stephens, Assistant to Fair Director, for her dedication, in the promotion and growth of the Dixie Classic Fair.
