Established in 1963 by the 4-H Clubs of McCreary County, this was the first such center in the U.S. developed by 4-H Clubs. The original log cabin was built on this site in an 1842 200-acre land grant to John Abbott. Abbott and his Indian wife, Oocella, lived in the cabin until 1863. The cabin was used continuously as a home by five generations until it was rebuilt as "Falls 4-H Craft Center."
