But there are possibilities of a brighter future for old homeplaces. One is the increasing number of people moving back to rural areas of North Carolina and these buildings also offer attractive places for preservation initiatives.

Abstract:
Located 10 miles east of Williamston in Williams Township in Martin County, the W.W. Griffin farm house and surrounding farm buildings evoke the character and setting of late 19th and early 20 century farm living in Martin County and eastern North Carolina as a whole. The 6.8 acre complex, which is part of a larger 1200 acre farm was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001. the house is a classic example of the once popular l-housee in eastern North Carolina. Griffin was the first person in the county to grow sweet potatoes on a commercial scale and was a "champion timberman" owing to his extensive business selling timber rights to various lumber companies.

Abstract:
The Rountree Family Farm was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000. Besides an impressive collection of outbuildings, all constructed between 1904 and 1935, the property includes two residences, one dating to 1904 and an earlier two-story one-room plan house built about 1830. Owners Ann Rountree and Carolyn Eaton recall Sunday family gatherings on the farm and their grandmother's milk puddings and pound cake sometimes topped with strawberries.
