The Brigadier General Charles Young Birthplace Cabin in Mayslick, Kentucky, honors the legacy of Charles Young (1864–1922), a pioneer in military and civil rights history. The first African American colonel in the U.S. Army and a West Point graduate, Young commanded Buffalo Soldiers and served as a diplomat and educator. Visitors can explore his early life through this historic cabin, which offers a glimpse into 19th-century rural life. Tours are by appointment, with limited accessibility due to the cabin's historic structure.
