History
editThe farmhouse was built as a log house circa 1835 for George T. Brown, his wife and their children.[2] Brown was a farmer who owned 4 slaves in 1838.[2]
The farm was purchased by David Chenault, the owner of Greenfield, in 1850.[2] Chenault, whose father was a French immigrant, lived on the two properties with his wife, nine sons and four daughters.[2] During the American Civil War of 1861–1865, his son Colby Chenault joined the Confederate States Army and served under General John Hunt Morgan.[2] In 1867, Colby moved into the house, where he lived with his wife, Araminta Harper, and their nine children.[2]
The farmhouse has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since July 25, 1985.[3]
