John Neely Bryan Cabin

The John Neely Bryan Cabin consists of a single room constructed from hand-hewn cedar logs. It functions as a historic reference to the early nineteenth-century frontier within the modern Dallas urban landscape. Although long associated with the Tennessee-born lawyer and trader John Neely Bryan, who founded the settlement of Dallas in eighteen forty-one, historians now identify the building as the likely work of another early pioneer, Gideon Pemberton.
