Horne Creek enables visitors to experience farm life in North Carolina's northwestern Piedmont circa 1900. The site features the family's original farm house, a tobacco curing barn, a corn crib, adjacent fields under cultivation, and even a heritage apple orchard. The Southern Heritage Apple Orchard features more than 425 varieties of old southern apples, many of which are on the brink of extinction. These old varieties have been sought and collected throughout the south by dedicated "apple hunters" to stem the loss of this unique part of our agricultural heritage.
