The Gosnell Cabin, also known as the Gosnell Log Cabin, is a historic structure located on the grounds of the Mauldin Cultural Center in Mauldin, South Carolina. Believed to have been constructed around 1819, the cabin is one of the oldest surviving buildings in Greenville County. Originally situated near the Poinsett Bridge in northern Greenville County, it served as the construction headquarters during the bridge’s erection—the oldest bridge still standing in South Carolina.

• Early Inhabitants: The cabin’s first recorded resident was Gresham Callahan, who appeared in the 1810 census. Notably, the cabin’s construction began in the Cherokee Indian style and was completed using the English method, reflecting a blend of cultural influences. ​
• Gosnell Family: In 1875, Rev. John Jack Gosnell purchased the cabin and 300 acres of surrounding land. Three generations of the Gosnell family resided there until 1941. The last resident, Luther Gosnell, served as the caretaker when the property became Camp Old Indian, a Boy Scout camp established in 1927
• Relocation and Restoration: After falling into disrepair, the cabin was relocated to the Mauldin Cultural Center in 2009, thanks to the efforts of local citizens. It now stands as a testament to the area’s rich history. ​
•  In 2021, the cabin found new life as Pop’s Cabin Creamery, an ice cream shop opened by Don Deas. Named in honor of Deas’ grandfather-in-law, who owned a beloved ice cream shop in Marion, South Carolina, the creamery offers a variety of treats, including ice cream, snow cones, and milkshakes. The shop utilizes the cabin’s front windows as ordering stations, with a seating area in front for patrons to enjoy their desserts.

Address: 101 E Butler Rd, Mauldin, SC 29662
