There is a plaque that stands in front of this old homestead telling about the lives of Martin and Carolyn Brinegar. The homestead itself is in amazing condition for being over 100 years old. The society has planted a demonstration garden to show what was most likely grown during the late 1800's in this area.
Each year local quilting guilds and historical societies will have displays and are on hand to answer questions.These demonstrations and educational activities at the Brinegar Cabin and Homestead tell the story of the life of the Martin and Carolyn Brinegar family and their neighbors during the early settlement years in the Appalachian Mountains. Caroline Brinegar’s skill with her loom and spinning wheel will be celebrated with a spinning bee and weaving demonstrations at the Brinegar Cabin.
