Farrar Distillery, Historic distillery in Noah, Tennessee
Farrar Distillery is a historic distillery complex located on a 133-acre farm property in Noah, Tennessee. The site contains original 19th-century structures that were once used for producing corn whiskey and fruit brandies from agricultural products.
Alexander Farrar founded the distillery operations in 1869 and gradually expanded the property over the following years. Production ceased in 1902 after severe flood damage destroyed much of the facility.
The facility represents the regional tradition of spirit production in Tennessee, where agricultural products were transformed into corn whiskey and fruit-based spirits.
The property is now called Thomas Farm and retains several original structures including a 19th-century barn still used for storage. Visitors can walk around the site to observe the historic buildings and understand how the farm was organized for production.
The site earned listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984, formally recognizing its historical significance to the region. This designation helped preserve the farm complex as an important record of Tennessee's spirit-making heritage.
