About

The Walker Sisters cabin and spring house represent remarkable history, the sisters lived here without electricity or modern conveniences until 1964, decades after the park's establishment. Accessible via Little Greenbrier Trail (approximately 2 miles one way) or as part of the Little Brier Gap Trail loop. The spring house and cabin offer insight into isolated Appalachian life that persisted into the modern era.
