Corbin Cabin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Corbin Cabin is a log structure built by George T. Corbin in 1909 in the Nicholson Hollow area of what is now Shenandoah National Park.[1] Corbin was forced to vacate the land on which the cabin sits in 1938, when the land was added to Shenandoah National Park.[2] The cabin is unique in that it is one of a small number of buildings located in Nicholson Hollow spared during the creation of the park, and still remains standing despite recent forest fires.

The cabin is maintained by the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club and is accessible within the park by means of Nicholson Hollow Trail.[3]
