Greenbrier Historical Society Showcases Farmhouses
the Homes Tour weekend
will be held there from 5-7

include candle light tours of
the house as well as a display
and demonstration of antique

On June 7, 8, & 9 2013, the
Greenbrier Historical Society
will hold its bi-annual tour of
homes in the Greenbrier Valley
and will showcase, among
others, two farm homes.
One will be the circa 1815
home of James Jarrett (17501822). He, along with his
brothers Owen, Jesse, and
David, came to the Greenbrier
Valley in the early 1770’s.
Still standing, straight
and true, on 100 acres of his
original land, the Jarrett House
retains most of its original
materials. The current owners
Margaret and David Hambrick
- she a Jarrett descendent - will
welcome visitors during the
tour. The farm is still active
and farmed by WVFB members
Joe and Mary Clay, the former
a Jarrett descendent.
