Dr. R. C. Buckner was born in this Madisonville, Tenn., cabin, Jan. 3, 1833. He moved to Texas, 1859. In 1879, founded Buckner Home. Original quarters cared for 8 children. After his death, April 9, 1919, work continued under sons, Joe D. and Hal F., and grandson, Robert Cooke Buckner II. This rough-hewn, 2-story cabin was moved here from original site, 1912, by staff and friends. Children playing around it gave the name "Tennessee House." RTHL, 1965
