The FFA Log Cabin was built during the 1934-1935 school year by students and is one of only two remaining FFA-constructed log cabins still in use today in the United States. The Fulton County School Board turned over ownership of the cabin to Alpharetta if the city would agree to relocate the Log Cabin and clear the site by Dec. 31, 2017. Details and additional historical information: www.aomchs.org.

Tours at Innovation Academy will take place 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Parking will be onsite at Innovation Academy and at the Masonic Lodge across the street.
