      Bobby Cogdell's son, Chris Cogdell, built the Cogdell Cabin in 2006.  It is located on the 222 acre Cogdell Farm in Decatur County, TN. The cabin sits on one of the highest points in west Tennessee, approximately four miles from the TN River.  From the cabin's deck, the water storage tanks in Lexington, Decaturville, Parsons, Perryville, and Linden, TN can be seen.
          In addition to a large whitetail deer and turkey population, various other wildlife have been observed, such as bald eagles, bobcats, coyotes, foxes, and rattlesnakes.  We have an excellent flock of purple martins, gold finches, and hummingbirds.  Every year we plant numerous wildlife food plots just for the wildlife.
          The cabin has three bedrooms and two baths inside its 1600 square feet living area.  Inside the cabin, you will find an assortment of various mounted deer and antelope.  There is a mounted set of antlers taken from a whitetail buck killed in the 1950's by John Henry Cogdell, father of Bobby Cogdell.
          The cabin is a favorite retreat place for the Cogdells and their friends.
