Large wooden antique hand loom. Stamped "USVA" inside the front left leg, which explains the army drab cloth that makes up the front apron. This particular loom was part of a VA hospital rehab program that used weaving to help soldiers returning home from WWI and II. Weaving as therapy began after the Civil War, though this loom was not in production at that time. Weaving was used to help soldiers regain mobility after severe injury, and to help calm and stabilize soldiers who were too traumatized to return to civilian life right away. At some point after use at the VA, it was converted to make rag rugs. The depositor reported that it was used by a 7th Day Adventists Women's School in Tennessee.

Log cabin door. Put together with pegs and has iron hinges, handmade by a blacksmith. Structure was located on McDade Street and was there in 1947. The Neely family, a young couple, lived in the building. There were two rooms in the cabin and a floored upper level. No running water, and a fireplace for heat. Logs in the cabin were hand-hewn with spaces serving as windows for the family. Later the cabin was weatherboarded (windows and doors boarded over), and in the summer of 1996 it was torn down. Richard G. (Jerry) Tuck purchased logs from the cabin and donated the door to the Greer Heritage Museum in 1996.
