Inspiration for writers, scholars, and readers

Paul Green's Cabin is a destination and a source of literary inspiration. Paul Green (1894-1981) was North Carolina’s Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright and the author of the outdoor drama, “The Lost Colony.” He did some of his best writing in this humble, hand-hewn structure where he kept a rocking chair near the stone fireplace, a wooden desk, many books, and a typewriter. Today the cabin sits in a quiet grove of flowering trees in Chapel Hill at the North Carolina Botanical Garden, surrounded by the native plants that Green loved. It is open for visitors year-round during Garden hours.

Paul Green's Cabin is also an online journal curated by the Paul Green Foundation. Each monthly edition features passages from Green's plays, letters, novels, and diaries. Ultimately the Foundation wants to draw attention to the wealth of material still available to scholars for research and writing about this man who was in many ways ahead of his time and whose work sheds light on our present struggles as a society.
