Marker Text: ​The McGehee came to Texas from Alabama in 1847. In 1859, Charles Lewis McGehee, Jr.  (1837-1929) acquired this property along the San Marcos River. He soon built this cabin for his wife, Sarah Jane  (Humphreys), and their children. One of the oldest existing structures in this part of Hays County. The cabin features a fireplace and chimney of hand-hewn stones. About 1870, McGehee moved his family from the farm into the town of San Marcos, where he worked as a land developer and stock dealer.
