McCool House - This "dog trot" house was constructed by
G.N. & Martha Jane Paxton MCool about 1872 - 73 in
Paxton community south of Sheridan. It was
remodeled several times and remained on the property of
the family members until 1996 when it was moved here.
Twelve McCool children were born here. The house
was built of lumber possibly produced at the McCool
Brothers Sawmill once located in the Paxton settlement.
Dwelling donated by the Felix Bird Family.
This Saddle Shed log structure (on left) from the
Corinth Community was originally located behind the
McCool house. Prior to relocation it was a storage
building and is still used for storage today. The
building was a gift from the Tommy Breazeal Family of
Corinth.
This pioneer Corn Crib (on right) was also located
behind the McCool House. It was built about 1920 for the
purpose of storing corn. Spaces between the logs were
left open to allow air circulation. The building was
donated by the John Rainbolt Family of Crossroads.
