HISTORY

Alexander Moore, II and his family settled on this land in 1831 near what was then the Catawba River. Six generations of Moore descendants have coninuously owned and cared for the property. The current owner, John Moore, born in 1936, was the direct descendent of Gen. John Moore, who fought in the Revolutionary War. He and his four brothers grew up working the farm which at that time had fields of grain and cotton, orchards, cows, horses, chickens, and pigs.

In 1958, John encouraged his father Clyde, then retired, to plant pine trees in the fallow fields. In 1980, the pond and tennis court were added and the house was updated. John and his wife, Patricia, have recently renovated the house and grounds again and are opening it to others so that Mooreland can continue to be enjoyed by future generations.
