But the Swindlers are busy with yet another venture - one that mixes business and sentiment. They have restored the log cabin near the site of the old Pullen store and Post Office, and with the help of their three children - James II, Natalie Ann and Bobbette, they have furnished it with fine antiques and Appalachian crafts which they sell from the cabin on weekends.
They call the little cabinshowroom “Thornton Gap” after the local name for that section of the cut through the mountains. But at one time that little area was called “Pullen” and was the site of the post office, country store and distillery operated by James Swindler’s family until 1918 when centralization closed the post office. Unlike many distilleries operated in the mountains in years gone by, the family business was a legal one, licensed by the government.
