The Corbin Cabin is a log structure built by George T. Corbin in 1909 in the Nicholson Hollow area of what is now Shenandoah National Park.[3] Corbin was forced to vacate the land on which the cabin sits in 1938, when the land was added to Shenandoah National Park.[4] The cabin is unique in that it is one of a small number of buildings located in Nicholson Hollow spared during the creation of the park, and still remains standing despite recent forest fires.
