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.
