    This charming two-story log house was built in 1800. It has evolved through the years into a unique historic property which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The house is built of chestnut logs with poplar floors. Original limestone fireplaces provide focal points for the parlor and bride's room. James Buchanan, an early settler in Davidson County, married Lucinda East in 1810. The first log addition to the home was necessitated in 1820, to accommodate their growing family, which eventually numbered 16 children.

    Come enjoy the ambiance of days past melded with today's modern facilities and celebrate the Bicentennial Birthday of the house. There will be a dedication ceremony, genealogy, DNA project, BBQ supper, gospel concert and much more. On Saturday State Representative Ben West, Jr. will do a presentation of Historical Marker for the house. The Buchanan Log House is the property of the Association for the Preservation of Tennessee Antiquities and is operated by the Donelson-Hermitage Chapter.
