This is the Sheets Cabin located between mile markers 251 and 252 on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Laurel Springs, Ashe Co., NC. The cabin was built c. 1818. (According to the Park Service, the cabin was built by Jesse Sheets in 1818, but Jesse was not born until 1818, so the cabin was likely built by his father, Andrew.)
