A variation of Gentleman's Fancy is the pattern on the barn at Moon Creek Farm. The quilt was made by Mary Susan Mickle Ricker, great-grandmother of Robert Ricker, who currently runs the farm. Mary's family came to Greene County from Rock Hill, South Carolina when her father relocated to run the furnace at the local iron mine. Mary met and married Frederick K. Ricker and remained here with her husband when her family moved back to Rock Hill. Mary was the postmistress at Limestone Springs and her husband was Justice of the Peace. The couple owned a store and lumber company in the Houston Valley area. Mary's quilt is approximately 100 years old and is not a scrap quilt, as most of the quilts were at that time. The entire quilt is made of only three cotton fabrics, believed to have been from the family store. Mary was born in 1848 and died in 1922, after having made her home in her later years with her younger son, Mort Ricker and his wife Easter. The quilt was handed down to Mary's grandson, Louis, by Easter Ricker. The quilt is now owned by Louis' daughter, Nancy. Mort Ricker bought Moon Creek Farm in 1939 from Johnny Parker. The farm had been owned by the Campbell family for many years and was still known as the Campbell Farm although there had been several owners between the Campbell family and the Ricker family. Moon Creek, named for the creek that runs through a portion of the property, was the home farm for the Ricker family, although Mort Ricker owned other farms as well. Upon purchasing the farm, he moved his family from the Houston Valley area to Tusculum. The family had dairy and beef cattle and raised large quantities of tobacco. The barn was used as a dairy barn until 1982. In 1985, after the death of Mort's wife, Easter, their son, Walter Ricker, and his family bought the farm. Today, Walter's son, Robert, continues to raise tobacco and beef cattle on the farm. The original farm was approximately 165 acres and had remained intact until Highway 107 was enlarged to a four-lane and a portion of the farm was lost. It is believed that the barn was built while the farm belonged to the Campbell family. The barn and adjoining tobacco barn have always been painted red.

Located in Northeast TN and only 10 miles from Greeneville, Still Hollow Farm is a working family farm which dates back to the 1800's.

The Allen family of Greene County begins with Robert Allen who moved to the area from Pennsylvania in 1786. His son Daniel was a contemporary and friend of Greeneville tailor and alderman, Andrew Johnson. It was Daniel's son, James Allen, Sr. that established a farm of 560 acres about nine miles southwest of Greeneville in 1857 and built what is now known as the Allen/Birdwell house, circa 1865. James Allen, Jr. acquired the property in 1885. He served in the Tennessee General Assembly from 1903 to 1907 and from 1923 to 1925. Married to Elizabeth Jay Birdwell, the couple had no children, but they raised her nephew, George Leo Birdwell, Sr. In 1952, George, Sr. obtained the property. He married Julia Gladys Russell and they had five children, one of which is the present owner, Jay D. Birdwell, Sr. In 1973, Jay and his wife Ann obtained the farm. They reared the next generation in the house that was built by the founder, James Allen Sr. Our house is central to the identity and pride of our farm. We and the four generations before us have preserved everything. We have added modern conveniences but otherwise still use the original doors, doorknobs, light fixtures, and glass window panes. A log barn and smokehouse dating to the first half of the nineteenth century are still used in everyday farming activities. We are especially proud that our history and artifacts are preserved by their everyday use.

After the Schells purchased the farm in 1980, over the next decade it became the largest sheep operation in the state of Tennessee. Acres of tobacco were also raised and processed during that time when it was all hand-tied and packed in tobacco baskets. The Schells also grew hay for the sheep, and fruits and vegetables for their own use. The sheep operation eventually ceased and cattle are now kept on the farm as well as a few laying hens that provide fresh eggs. Presently, three generations of the Schell family live on the farm. In 1998, the 1840's white farm house and a tract of land across the road from the farm was purchased after having changed hands over the years and was reunited with the original farm. It is now home of Heritage Gardens, a nursery and landscape business owned and operated by Dr. Schell's son, Bob, and his wife, Robin.
