The hand-hewn Adkins House, with some of the best notching you can find, was built in 1838 and had two limestone rock chimneys. It belonged to Dr. Benton Adkins who was born and raised in the home. The 21-foot-wide by 16-foot-tall cabin was moved on a flatbed trailer to Historic Collinsville in 2000 from land along Highway12 in southeast Montgomery County. The home is interpreted as an early 20th Century teacher’s house — a time when some travelling educators were fortunate enough to stay in a home provided for them while they served as a teacher.
