The Moore Farm House started in 1874 when James and Mary Moore built the original house on the present site. It served as the home for a large and growing family and the center of social activities in the Homewood area. One day a granddaughter was helping with the wash by stirring the clothes in a large outdoor kettle when the wind sent an ember from the fire onto the wood walkway that leads to the house. Over the years, cotton fluff from the fields had collected under the walkway serving as a wick to quickly ignite the house. With all lost, the neighbors banded together to help the Moore family. They milled rough-cut timber from the woods and in 1914 helped them build the present house on the same foundation of the original house. The house was built from heart pine with beaded board on all walls and ceilings.

In 1989, the plumbing and electricity was updated and in 2003, additional work was completed to provide all the amenities expected by discriminating bed and breakfast travelers. Today all bedrooms have private baths, but the floors in the rooms and the staircase leading upstairs is the original work of those caring 1914 neighbors.
