About 200 years ago, the Gosnell Cabin was built with original dimensions of twenty-five by eighteen feet from twelve-inch-thick, eight-inch-wide heart pine beams. Gresham Callahan is the first attributed inhabitant, and according to a log cabin historian the cabin began in the Cherokee Indian style of construction and was finished using the English method, meaning it was begun by an Indian and finished by a white man. It originally had a dirt floor that was later raised and replaced with a wooden floor. Callahan first appeared in the 1810 census, indicating that he was a resident of Greenville County after 1800 but before 1810, and he was apparently known by several monikers, including "Old Indian." The cabin originally stood in northern Greenville County near historic Poinsett Bridge, and while that bridge was under construction after its completion in 1819, the cabin was used as construction headquarters; Poinsett Bridge is the oldest bridge still standing in South Carolina. Ownership later passed to John H. Goodwin, who in 1875 sold the cabin and 300 acres to Rev. John Jack Gosnell for $351.00. Three generations of Gosnells lived there until 1941. The Boy Scouts bought the property for a camp in 1927 and named it Camp Old Indian after Gresham Callahan. The cabin also held generations of family life and hardship in Greenville County: perhaps as many as ten babies were born there, Luther Gosnell's wife Lizzie Dill Gosnell died of measles there in 1928, an uncle had his leg amputated on the kitchen table, and in 1941 Luther Gosnell suffered an epileptic fit in front of the fireplace, was badly burned, and died of gangrene three days later in Greenville General Hospital. Life in the foothills was harsh, with bears, panthers, rattlesnakes, and copperheads adding danger, and Luther made his living as a farmer and rock mason while rumors said he was also a moonshiner and bootlegger. After 1941 the cabin remained on the Camp Old Indian property, fell into disrepair, and was eventually removed and restored at the Mauldin Cultural Center grounds through the efforts of Sam Phillips, Dave Chesson, and Tim Brett. It is undoubtedly one of the oldest remaining structures in Greenville County.
