The Tate Log House

This dogtrot-style cypress log cabin was constructed in the 1840s on land near Robinsonville, Mississippi. Samuel Kerr purchased the land and cabin residence in the 1860s. The cabin was converted to a plantation commissary when Robert F. and Simpson Tate purchased the land in 1890. Mrs. Christine Tate sold the land in 1952 to the Leatherman family. In the early 1990s, the cabin was moved south to Elsie and Sterling “Sarge” Seabrook’s property at OK Landing near Austin, Mississippi. Richard and Carroll Seabrook Leatherman donated the cabin to Tunica Museum in 2000, which brought the cabin to its present location in the town of Tunica, making this the most traveled structure in Tunica County.
