Virtual Tour: Carter Log Cabin

This trail is an extension of the Tunnel Trail and is the connector along Stock Creek to the Carter Cabin. The cabin, built as part of Carter's Fort in 1784, is believed to be the oldest house in Scott County, Virginia. Carter's Fort, also known as Crissman's Fort, Rye Cove Fort, and Fort Lee was built in 1774 by Issac Crissman and, ten years later, rebuilt as a permanent settlement by brothers Thomas, Joseph, and Norris Carter. The house was moved sometime later to the town of Rye Cove, then in 1997 the cabin was moved to its current location at Natural Tunnel State Park.
