In 1935 a group of students in the Future Farmers of America Club build a log cabin on the campus of the Old Milton High School on Milton Avenue in Downtown Alpharetta. Their log cabin clubhouse quickly became a center of social life for the community hosting proms, weddings, weekly square dances, and much more. Still, later the cabin became a favorite field trip destination for school children studying local history.
In 2017, the construction of a new Fulton County STEM School on the original Milton High School site resulted in a need to relocate the Log Cabin. The Alpharetta & Old Milton County Historical Society, and many individual and corporate donors stepped up to help.
Today the Log Cabin is a joint partnership between the City of Alpharetta and the Alpharetta & Old Milton County Historical Society.
Alpharetta’s Research Library & Archives will be moved to the Log Cabin by the end of year 2021.
Location: Milton Avenue Park 200 Milton Avenue, Alpharetta GA 30009
