This cabin was 100 years old when John Wesley Mechum and wife, Mary Camilla Frye Mechum purchased it 80 years ago. Mary and John had nine children (one set of twins). Six of the children lived and were raised in the cabin in Advance, NC. The cabin originally had no wooden floor, carpets were woven from old clothes to cover the smoothed dirt. This cabin was contributed by Camilla Vogler of Sanford, NC. In memory of John & Mary Mechum, John, Macey, Nancy, Annie & Elmer and in honor of Ruth.
