Thomas and Jane Brown homesteaded the Falling Spring area in 1851. They settled in a land which looked very similar to their homeland, Tennessee. The area around Falling Spring provided for their basic needs -- water for livestock and personal use, and trees from which to build a cabin. Known today as the Thomas Brown Cabin, it was the first of four houses built near this site. The half-dovetail notching used on the corners of the cabin helped shed water off the logs. Use of the half-dovetail joint may be one erason why this building is in good condition today.
