Cannonsburgh, the original name of Murfreesboro, is a reconstructed village that began as a United States Bicentennial project. In order to showcase the heritage of the rural South, different types of historical folk buildings were purchased throughout the region and moved to the grounds. The structures are built from a variety of materials including log, frame, and brick. Illustrated above is a classic example of a log house with an open hall, commonly known as a dogtrot house. The log buildings at Cannonsburgh include a single-pen house, a two-story hall-and-parlor type house with a rear addition, a one-room schoolhouse, and several other examples of log architecture.
