(reconstructed)

Hans Wagner, a hunter, trapper and miller, and his teenage son built this cabin in 1752, but left for new land on the Yadkin River, when the Moravians purchased the Wachovia Tract. On November 17, 1753, the first 15 Brothers found the abandoned cabin where they lived until 1755, when the Brothers' House was completed. Refugees used the cabin during the French and Indian Was. The village of Bethabara grew up around it.

"We...cut a road for two and a half miles to the little house that the Brethren found yesterday. We reached it in the evening, and at once took possession of it, finding it large enough that we could all lie down around the walls...."
Bethabara Diary, November 17, 1753.
