Hinsons Ford Road

Bayliss McDonald Cabin

A cabin dating around 1850 still survives in a field to the north of Lost Acres Lane. The cabin was owned by a farmer named Bayliss McDonald and later rented by Mr. & Mrs. Carl Weaver.

Jim Priest bought the land at auction for twenty-five and one-quarter cents per acre, one-quarter cent higher than the previous bidder. The current owner is Doug Green. The cabin is used on occasion by a mother fox to raise her kits.

Hinsons Ford Read was once blocked at several points by gates, to keep livestock contained.
