Ewing Farm

The house was built in 1830 for James V. Ewing, a farmer who owned slaves.^[3] Aside from the great house, he built several other buildings, including slave cabins and two cemeteries.^[3] His son, John C. C. Ewing, graduated from the University of Nashville and served as a surgeon in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War; he inherited the farm in 1878.^[3] Ewing died in 1917 and his nephew, James Oliver Ewing, purchased the property two years later, where he summered with his wife Helen White Johnson and their two daughters.^[3] It was later inherited by his daughter Helen Ewing and Jack Goodman,^[4] whose twin sons moved into the house by the 1980s.^[3]

The house was designed in the Greek Revival architectural style.^[3] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since April 5, 1984.^[5]
