Most buildings on a mountain farm served the basic need of preserving food, and the historic buildings gathered at the Mountain Farm Museum were moved there from throughout the national park in the early 1950s. Together they reflect the daily challenges faced by every mountain farm family. John Davis spent two years building a house near Deep Creek, North Carolina, and completed it about 1900. Its log walls are matched: Davis split chestnut logs in half along their length and placed the halves in matching positions on opposite walls.
