The McLendon Cabin and the James Bryant House Historic Site
Moore County Historical Association
The Joel McLendon Cabin, circa 1760, is the oldest standing structure on its
original site in Moore County. The James Bryant House was built within 20 yards
of the cabin in 1820. The McLendon Cabin then served as the kitchen. Special
features include two fine mantles, handmade doors and window sash, and hand-hewn
pine girders and sills. Neither dwelling has been altered except for
restoration.
The houses are located at Harris Crossroads in upper Moore County approximately
six miles from the Pinehurst Traffic Circle. They are open Sundays from 2-5 on a
regular schedule, and are available for tours at other times by calling the site
manager at (910) 947-3995 or Janet Cunningham at (910) 692-7811.
