This charming two-story log house was built in 1807-1808.  It has evolved through the years into a unique historic property which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.  The house is built of chestnut logs with poplar floors.   Original limestone fireplaces provide focal points for the parlor and Lucinda's room.

James Buchanan, an early settler in Davidson County, married Lucinda East in 1810.  The first log addition to

the home was necessitated in 1820, to accommodate their growing family, which eventually numbered 16 children.  The next addition to the house occurred in 1900.

Two historical prominent residents were Judge Thomas N. Frazier who purchased the home in 1867, and his son, James Beriah Frazier.  Judge Frazier was Criminal Court Judge for Rutherford and Davidson Counties, and was impeached during the Reconstruction Days because of his so-called interference in the ratification of the 14th Amendment. (He was later restored to office in 1870).  James Beriah Frazier spent his teenage years in this home.  He was a popular governor 1903 to 1905, and was a U.S. Senator 1905 to 1911.

Guests enjoy the ambiance of days past melded with today's modern facilities.  The Buchanan Log House is the property of the Association for the Preservation of Tennessee Antiquities and is operated by the Buchanan Log House Chapter.
