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.
