The Ole Homestead in Murphy, NC

Can’t you just imagine that this home place was a real grand one in its day? This large wood and tin home with a small creek running next to it is situated along Joe Brown Hwy in Murphy, NC and must be a family treasure.  It’s like a memorial to “the good ole days” every time we drive past it. You can just imagine all the kids out in the yard playing, mom hanging out laundry and the grandparents on the porch stringing half runner beans. These are some of the small town country scenes you can still find in Cherokee County.

I can imagine the scene back in the 1900s.  So different.  I would love to drive through this kind of scenery.

I sure hope someone works on that to restore it.  Some things just aren't as good when they're "newer and better."

Thank you for sharing.

Seeing this old homestead does make the imagination wonder in many directions.  I love driving the back roads, beauty and nature surround you.

Lee & Carol … your narrative helps create another picture of what it must have been like in days gone by. There is a sense of peacefulness … awesome!

Lee and Carol - As I was scrolling down to get where I could comment on this Homestead photo, I went too fast and flew by the picturs of the interior of your blog just preceding this one. . .I thought for an insane minute, how can that rundown old homestead have such a wonderful interior. . .I need a nap:-)
