Trails: James Polk Birthplace

Here is an AI generated description of this place that one can reach by car or the Little Sugar Creek Greenway:

James K. Polk was born in a log cabin in Pineville, North Carolina (then part of Mecklenburg County) on November 2, 1795. 
 The original farmhouse no longer exists, but the site is preserved as the President James K. Polk State Historic Site, located at 12031 Lancaster Highway in Pineville. 
 The historic site features a reconstructed log cabin based on period descriptions and is open to the public free of charge.

The drying shed, I suppose, since the wind can get through.
