The rail fence leads into the picture, past a buidling under construction, to the Watts-Caudill cabin and a smokehouse.
The cabin makes a pretty springtime scene.
This barn near the creek is being reconstructed. It was donated by Peyton Morton of Hazard, and moved from Leslie County.
This smokehouse is 130-135 years old, and was located at the mouth of Lynn Fork of Leatherwood Creek. It was used until the 1980s, and donated by Franklin and Jimmy Mayhew.
This 130 year old cabin from Letcher County was donated by Elbert and Valerie Caudill. Brian Watts lived in it from the early 1900s until his 1970 death.
This sign announces the location of the restored village of Brashearville.
This swinging bridge was built by Perry Co. Fiscal Court Judge Denny Ray Noble, and Magistrates Johnny Blair, Jim Neace, and Randy Bailey.
