Abstract:

In 1794, John Beam bought land in what is now Cleveland County and began farming. The family would farm the property, now on the National Register of Historic Places, for over 100 years. The authors describe the site's architectural and archaeological features, look at the placement of the farmstead on the Piedmont landscape, and describe farm changes during the 100 years of Beam family ownership.
