Booker T. Washington National Monument in Moneta VA 24121 hosted our SML Chamber of Commerce "Historical & Educational" Network Meeting
We
went into this tiny slave cabin where he lived as a child. The fireplace was
built outside the cabin. If there were an unforeseen fire, they could just push
over the fireplace and save the cabin. Back is these pre Civil War days, the
filler between the courses of logs was mud, straw and stones. No door or window
coverings except perhaps some fabric in the colder times. There was a small 3x3
hole in the middle of the floor with trap door, for storage. Small space above
the main floor ceiling is not visible in this photo.
