Cahas Mountain Rural Historic District

The district spans 1,450 acres of rural landscape containing 33 historic buildings, 10 sites, and 8 structures featuring Federal and Greek Revival architecture.

The Carolina Road, which passed through Maggodee Gap in the early 1800s, influenced the construction of substantial brick houses for travelers in this area.

The Boone and Taylor families established enduring agricultural traditions through their farms and constructed notable residences that define the district's character.

While many properties remain private, visitors can observe architectural elements and historical structures from designated public access points along U.S. Route 220.

The district includes a rare log dwelling with a log purlin roof, distinguishing it from other historic agricultural settlements in Virginia.
