About Us
Read MoreDenard & Kay Harris trace their family
roots back to the early 1700’s, with the
migration of Quakers to Carteret
County.Their family church was the
Clubfoot Creek Quaker Church (circa
1760-1841). Their love & fascination with
historical places inspired the foundation
for sharing this venue with others.
In 1872, Haywood G. Harris
(great-grandfather) purchased the
300-acre farm for $300 gold dollars. Will
Harris (grandfather) developed a large
sawmill operation on the property in the
early 1900’s. The 1903 farm house was
built for the mill’s caretaker. Haywood and
Sadie (Denard’s parents) moved into the
house in 1934 and Denard & Kay lived
there in 1999-2002. The fourth generation
homestead has hosted many
events…family reunions, weddings,
receptions, birthdays, anniversaries…..and
a few hurricanes!
