The Timberneck House got a new paint job last year! Have you seen it yet? Or are you interested on how it looks from the inside and its restoration process? Want to learn more about the farmhouse's history starting in 1793? Then visit Timberneck for a free walk-in tour inside the home hosted by volunteers of the Fairfield Foundation! The tours discuss the early history of the 18th-century families buried at the site and the 19th-20th century history of the Catlett family, who built the farmhouse in 1793.
