Good to keep the family home if you can...
My mother was born and raised in a log cabin in the Blue Ridge. You couldn’t tell it was a log cabin after cover boards were put on later.
Spent many warm nights there as a child protected from those cold mountain winters.
The gov. took the family land and later burned the home down.

Why did they take the land and burn down the house? If you don’t mind me asking?
