Dr. John Freeman, retired doctor / missionary has always loved history and architecture. As a missionary in Thailand for 10 years, his love for history only grew as he collected Thai artifacts. Back in the States, he continued that love by starting Green Frog. The first buildings were a donated country store and an 1840s-era log cabin. He collected the other numerous buildings and historical artifacts over time from various states. Green Frog displays the work of those who have been filled with the spirit of God with skill, ability, and knowledge in all kinds of crafts. —Exodus 31:3 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth His handiwork. — Psalm 19:1 Directions: Green Frog is located 14 miles northwest of Jackson on Highway 412. From I-40 West, take Exit 79 to Hwy 412 and follow signs to Dyersburg and Alamo. From I-40 East, take Exit 56. Located 2 miles east of the Tennessee Safari Park.
The Eatman Gin, Gin Pond, and General Store — Originally powered by a steam engine, the gin now displays a 1920 Fairbanks diesel engine. A gin was an essential part of a cotton farmer’s life during the early 1900s because it weighed, ginned (removed the seeds), and baled cotton. Cotton gins were typically located next to ponds, as the outbreak of a fire was a constant threat. In addition, the ponds served as watering holes for mules that pulled wagons to the gin.
