Along Highway 23 south of Tremont, an old pioneer log home sits on the hillside. Several years back, this structure was moved from Horn's Crossing to its new location.

Bob, this log structure is Terry and Luna Stevens Horn built by the slaves and his dad
Bob, Thanks a million for posting this.Even in a bad shape it still brought back cozy memories. Only the stone chimney was at the old place when we made the Hillcountry tour and several commented about it. I was going to ask if it was their little house and saw the comment that was left. I visited there many a time with Terry and Luna Horne. Luna was the sister of William Cliff Stevens and I always called him "PaPaw Stevens". His son, Bill, was my uncle. Rita
Mr. Franks, I thought an old log house stood directly across from the old John McCulley (sp) Store there on Rt. 23. I didn't realize there were slaves in the hill country. I knew they were south of there from Smithville and Amory on down. I sure enjoy all your pictures and articles.
Thanks for all the comments. I've learned a lot about this old log structure through all your comments.
