The Hair Conrad Cabin is a historic log cabin in Bradley County, Tennessee, United States, and the oldest residential structure in the county.[2]
It is a single-pen cabin that was built in the early 1800s by a Cherokee known by the names Tekahskeh and Hair Conrad. Its construction followed the style of cabins built by white settlers of the era.[2][3]
Hair Conrad, who had a white father and a Cherokee mother, farmed the land near the cabin, growing apples, peaches, and other produce. A leader in the Cherokee community and a "man of means", he was the founder of a school for the education of Cherokee children. He participated in writing the Cherokee Constitution in 1827, and prior to 1836 he was a representative of the Cherokee Nation in Washington, D.C.[4] He was later (in 1838) to lead the first detachment of Cherokees from Rattlesnake Springs on the Trail of Tears and died soon after reaching Oklahoma in 1839.[2][4][5]
After Hair Conrad's departure, a succession of white families owned and lived in the cabin. It is now on the property of Blythewood Farms.[4]
The cabin was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.[1]
