A. P. Carter Homeplace, Folk music birthplace in Maces Spring, United States.
The A. P. Carter Homeplace features a single-room log cabin with half-dovetailed construction and an enclosed corner stair leading to the upper loft.
Robert Carter constructed this log dwelling in 1891, which became the birthplace of his son A.P. Carter, who later formed the influential Carter Family music group.
The house stands as a representation of traditional Appalachian construction methods and farming family life during the late nineteenth century in Virginia.
The property includes 33 acres of land and sits near the junction of VA 614 and VA 691, southeast of the main Maces Spring settlement.
The cabin underwent relocation in 2004 to share grounds with the A. P. Carter Store, preserving both structures as part of the Carter Family legacy.
