The Daniel Murphree Log Cabin at Palisades Park is possibly the oldest building in Blount County. The cabins are open for special occasions and by asking one of the park staff. The restored Daniel Murphree cabins originally located in aptly named Murphrees Valley and was donated to the park and the Blount Historical Society by John Roderick and Marjoe Sanders. That cabin was built by Murphree in 1820 after he had come to Blount County in 1817, making it likely the oldest remaining building within the county. After his wife Pheraby (Bynum) died in 1873, he sold the cabin to Asa Murphree, who then sold it to David Hyatt. David gave it to his son and daughter-in-law, James and Rebecca, as a wedding gift. Their daughter, Docia Hyatt, sold it to the Sanders in 1966. Daniel Murphree’s great-granddaughter, Docia Hyatt, was born in the Murphree Log Cabin in 1886 and she died in 1984. The cabin features a small photo of Docia, Daniel Murphree’s great-granddaughter, along with her first and only doll. Also on display are many period pieces like the original rope bed, three walking spinning wheels, a corner cabinet and more. Directly behind Murphree Log Cabin was moved the Blackwood-Hudson Pioneer Cabin which has been retro-fitted with a dry sink, pie safe and other historic items donated to the Historical Society or Palisades to make that cabin as a "kitchen" to the Murphree home. Palisades Park can be reached by traveling U.S. Hwy 231 about three miles north of Oneonta, Alabama.
