This is the cabin that was used in the forthcoming movie Get Low, with Robert Duvall. (See my posting of May 2, 2010, below.)
It’s in the Pickett’s Mill Battlefield (Civil War) Historic Site, near Marietta, Georgia. It was built nearby in the 1850s and moved to the site. It’s now used for demonstrations of candle making, cooking, sewing, etc.
About Lloyd Kahn
Lloyd Kahn started building his own home in the early '60s and went on to publish books showing homeowners how they could build their own homes with their own hands. He got his start in publishing by working as the shelter editor of the
Whole Earth Catalog with Stewart Brand in the late '60s. He has since authored six highly-graphic books on homemade building, all of which are interrelated. The books, "The Shelter Library Of Building Books," include
Shelter,
Shelter II (1978),
Home Work (2004),
Builders of the Pacific Coast (2008),
Tiny Homes (2012), and
Tiny Homes on the Move (2014). Lloyd operates from Northern California studio built of recycled lumber, set in the midst of a vegetable garden, and hooked into the world via five Mac computers. You can check out videos (one with over 450,000 views) on Lloyd by doing a search on YouTube:
SO HAPPY TO FIND YOU.
I LIKE YOUR BLOG AND YOUR WAY OF THINKING..

The wife and I visited the cabin, after reading your post (and seeing the movie). We took lots of photos; the funny thing is, the park rangers had no idea a movie had been filmed there in 2009, nor that the likes of Robert Duvall, Bill Murray or Sissy Spacek had been so close by!
I just came across this and wanted to clarify for Ghostsoldier. I am friends with the daughter of the man who was the Park Ranger of PMHS. Their family lived on the site at the time the movie was filmed. Her father found a new job and they moved about a year or so after the filming was finished. Another family now lives there (and now takes care of the park). That could be why they didn't know.
That makes perfect sense…thanks for clarifying that!
Sorry for digging up this old post…I just stumbled across it 10 years later.
