About Horne Creek Living Historical Farm

Horne Creek Farm sits near Pinnacle in Surry County and is run by the state's cultural resources department as a historic site. Its staff present daily farm routines from roughly 1900 in the northwest Piedmont. The grounds center on the Hauser Farmhouse, a late nineteenth-century home furnished to match the 1900 to 1910 period, and include supporting farm buildings. Visitors also see heritage livestock breeds that were common in the early twentieth century. A large heritage apple orchard holds hundreds of old apple varieties. A visitor center houses exhibits and a gift shop.
