Five generations of one family lived in the Pioneer Cabin until 1960. The cabin was built in the early to mid-1800s in Washington Parish at Sunny Hill near Franklinton. This part of Louisiana was part of the Florida parishes and became part of the United States in 1810.Since the plantation owners already occupied the rich, fertile lands along the rivers, these yeoman farmers settled in less fertile piney woods and hills across the South. This single-pen cabin was built of heartwood pine lumber and natural materials on hand. The cabin was disassembled and moved to the museum in 1872.
