  • History

    Hisrich Hills House Bed & Breakfast and ArtFarm Fully-equipped Kitchen

    Hisrich Hills House Bed & Breakfast and ArtFarm is located on 280 acres of rolling farmland in the Stucky Valley, of Tuscarawas County, Ohio. Originally settled in the 1830s by the Moomaw family, the farm was purchased in 1903 by Doug's great-grandparents, German farmers, Jacob and Emma Hisrich. It has remained in our family for over 100 years.

    The farm subsequently passed down to Doug's grandparents, Laura and Vernon Hisrich who lived, raised a family and farmed the property for many decades. After their deaths the buildings and land remained underutilized for many years and fell into decline until we purchased them, along with Doug's parents, Ed and Pat (Hisrich) McGlumphy in 1997.

    In addition to the built environment, the farm consists of approximately 60% tillable land and 40% woods. In an effort to preserve the property as farmland, a local farmer uses the fields to plant crops for his dairy farm. The remainder acts as a bird sanctuary, as well as habitat for local wildlife.

    We enjoy our farm and its family history and invite you.

    to come and enjoy its peacefulness and tranquility with us. It is a labor of love and continues to be an ever-evolving endeavor. There is always something new to look at with each subsequent visit as we always have a new project in the works.

    Art and Antiques

    We have been collecting art and antiques for nearly two decades and enjoy the recreation of antiquing, foraging for a good deal and salvaging architectural materials for reuse. Jen has the eye for a bargain and Doug is a local artisan. He creates work that captures the essence of antiquity and folk art. His studio is located in the nearby barn. Trained as a fine artist in ceramics and painting, he now works in printmaking, sculpture, stone masonry and carpentry. You can find his creations all over the property.

    If you like the outdoors

    There are also numerous opportunities to get in touch with nature. Recline on the side porch and balcony and enjoy the farm views. Relax on the patio and cook dinner on the outdoor grill or sit on the front stoop and enjoy the fern and hosta garden, planted among the glacier stones. You can also take a hike in the woods on marked trails, walk though the fields or up the lane, and take in the country air. The possibilities for indoor and outdoor relaxation are endless, so come and enjoy!
