The farm has been in the family for over 128 years, and we look forward to revitalizing it as we share it with our visitors. Each cabin will have its own theme, honoring its past and educating its future. The first cabin you'll see upon entering the property is known as the Legacy Cabin. Dr. Alexander M. Brown obtained the farm section on Oct. 28, 1897. He was the local physician in Round Mountain, now located just across the lake, where the Round Mountain Iron Furnace was once located before being permanently closed in December 1906. The farm's cotton fields now host crappie and boaters, but once they connected two worlds just a horse ride apart.
The Brown family has farmed and used this land for generations, witnessing both industry and cotton farming, as well as the formation of a lake. We now share it with everyone as a special getaway.
*The Round Mountain iron furnace was a very important source of Confederate iron in the Civil War, and, currently, a historical marker is placed where it once stood.
