There is a better example of a ‘dog trot’ house in the little town of French Camp, Mississippi. Located alongside the Natchez Trace, about 25 miles south of US-82. The French Camp Academy uses it for a store to sell gifts and crafts. They also have a walking tour of their museum and other items of 19th century life in Mississippi. While you are there try the little restaurant. The absolute best bread pudding and broccoli salad I have ever wrapped my lips around.

Have never been in the deep South, but it’s on my bucket list.

The French Camp dogtrot is an excellent preserved cabin — unfortunately, it is not in the Library of Congress archives. It was the subject of an interesting study which demonstrated that the old-timers knew what they were doing — dogtrot cabins produced good passive ventilation.
