Vineyard Cabin

 The Vineyard Cabin, originally located just west of Greenwood, was moved to the present location near the Old Jail Museum in Greenwood in 1994. Restoration of the cabin was completed in 1996. The cabin was a gift to the Sebastian County Historical Society from Suzanne Francis and Sandra Blackstock, granddaughters of former owners William and Mattie Vineyard.

The circa 1848 cabin was built by a bachelor school teacher, William Blaylock. Mr. Blaylock first built a one room cabin with a stone fireplace where he lived and taught school until his marriage in 1850. At that time, he added another similar room with a stone fireplace and connected the two rooms with a breezeway or dogtrot running the depth of the cabin.

Restoration and future maintenance of the cabin has been made possible by the Vineyard family and donations of labor, expertise, materials and machinery and funds from individuals and businesses. Furnishings in the cabin were donated by Sebastian County residents and their descendants.

The cabin is only open for special occasions but may be viewed by arrangement with the Sebastian County Historical Society.
