NameHistoric Rural Hill Farm
Brief DescriptionHistoric Site
TypeAttraction
CategoryCharlotte North Carolina Historic Site
DescriptionHistoric Rural Hill Farm was the home of Major John Davidson, American patriot and signer of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence. Today, the 265 acre historic plantation stands as a memorial to early American agriculture and has become a cultural center for Scottish heritage. It is the oldest historic site in Mecklenburg County dating circa 1760. On the farm stands a reproduction of the Davidson's first homestead known as Rural Retreat, and the final home of the family, which houses the museum and gift shop. Outbuildings are open to explore and a variety of animals roam throughout the site including the rare, Highland Cows, which originate from Scotland. The last two remaining one room schoolhouses for black and white children in Mecklenburg County are also located on the farm. Historic Rural Hill is open year round except for certain holidays. Educational programs and special events are held throughout the year.

Reviews for Historic Rural Hill Farm
RatingCommentsDemographicsCreated
****What a magnificent historic farm of 265 acres of rolling hills and total serenity from the modern day rat race. Here one can certainly escape. The preservation efforts of three centuries was impressive to see. The Highland Cows were also quite interesting creatures to see in this part of the country.Male between 26 and 5501-28-06
