There’s a lot going on in October in the small community of Moss, Tennessee, where Honest Abe is headquartered. Mark your calendars now so you won’t miss the log raising, mill tour, new log home tour, mill tour and barn sale in Moss!
Log Raising and Mill Tour
On Saturday, Oct. 19, beginning at 9 a.m., folks who are interested in designing and building a custom Honest Abe Log Home are invited to attend a log raising and manufacturing tour.
Members of the company will build a small structure, showing and describing the process of building an Honest Abe Log Home.
Complimentary lunch will be served at noon to registered Log Raising guests, and afterwards a tour of our manufacturing facilities will be conducted. Throughout the event, you will have time to talk with design and drafting professionals and our manufacturing staff.
Seating in the climate-controlled building is free but limited, so reservations are required.
You may RSVP by calling the Sales Representative or Independent Dealer with whom you have been working or simply call 800-231-3695 if you’re not yet working with a new home consultant.
Log Home Tour
Following the Log Raising, special afternoon treat will be a tour of the custom log home (pictured at top and below) recently built for April Smith Patterson, the daughter of Honest Abe’s founders, and her husband Nick Patterson. The home is the first to be built with our new 10” Round logs and includes a variety of innovative design ideas and construction techniques. Learn more about the Patterson home here.
