Pictures of Mahala Mullins' Cabin

Below are three pictures of the cabin home of Melungeon matriarch and moonshiner extraordinaire, Mahala Mullins:


The cabin while still occupied, around 1940


The cabin not long prior to its removal in 1994

    hey! i love these pictures. These pictures that you have here are very special to me. mahala mullins is one of great aunts. ive heard so many stories about her and house sitting on the middle of 2 state lines so when the police would come and try to lock her up for making moonshine she would move to the other side so they couldnt lock her up

    Glad you enjoyed the pictures! But I must point out that Mahala's cabin did not sit on a state line. She escaped "justice" due to her size which made it very difficult to transport her.
