A Love for Historic Buildings and their Preservation

Picture
The Clemmons Family Farm showcases six historic buildings that date back to the late 1700's and the mid-1800's. Beginning in 1962,  Jack Clemmons and a small team of carpenters improved each building, one by one, through careful restorations over the span of five decades. Much of the restoration work was done by Jack himself, working with a small team of local carpenters. Jack's grandfather was a carpenter and taught him the skills of the trade. Jack and Lydia gradually transformed a run-down farm into a stunning historic estate. 

Jack and Lydia Clemmons never had a large income nor great family wealth, inheritances, stocks or bonds from which they could draw. Their major investments have always been in their children, in their education, and in the home and land that they love. Through hard work and frugal living have managed to hang onto their farm for nearly six decades.
