Great Great Great Grandpa's Cabin

This morning I got to visit my great great great grandfathers two-story cabin that is on the national Register of Historic Places in Summerfield Louisiana!

Nancy Wasson arrived in North Louisiana from Alabama in the 1800’s she and her husband, Alberry Wasson, built a home and planted their roots. It took them two years to build their home and completed it around 1850. They grew cotton, ran a saw mill, and owned a craft store  [apparently it runs in the family].

Here is the street sign leading up to the cabin. The street is named after them!

Here is my great great great grandpa’s carriage.  My uncle Tony tried to tell me it's like the Amish buggys, but I quickly corrected him that Ididn't have any Amish blood! [ for those of you that don't know… Amish buggy's creep me out !...they look like the creepy buggy in Beauty in the Beast that takes away Bell's papa.. or a coffin on wheels.. or a jail cell.. anyways..]
