DeMoss Cabin

Abraham Louis DeMoss, a Revolutionary War Captain from North Carolina, moved to this area in the late 1700s. On July 28, 1800, he purchased 150 acres of land overlooking the Harpeth River, where he built his log cabin on a knoll overlooking the river (just off Morton Mill Road). He called it Belle Vue, French for Beautiful View. For almost 200 years, the cabin stood atop a ridge on the west side of Morton Mill Road until the DeMoss family donated it to the Bellevue Harpeth Historic Association. The cabin was dismantled, all pieces labeled, and reassembled at the present location.
