Davis 31.46 Draper-Ingles Cabin

Located at Ingles Ferry in Radford, the Mary Draper Ingles cabin, also known as the Ingles Family Farmstead, was the home of Mary Draper and her husband, Thomas Ingles. Mary Draper Ingles was abducted by Shawnee Indians in 1755 and taken to Big Bone Lick, Kentucky. Mary escaped captivity and traveled over 800 miles on foot back home. Though the original cabin is gone, a replica stands in its place.
