Overton Farm, Historic wooden farmhouse in Hodges, Alabama.
The farmhouse contains two rooms divided by a dogtrot breezeway, reflecting early 19th-century agricultural architecture in the American South.
Abner Overton, a tobacco merchant from North Carolina, established the farm in 1817 with 160 acres along Bear Creek.
The Northwest Alabama State Junior College used the farm as an educational center from the 1970s through 2013.
Visitors can explore this National Register of Historic Places site to understand construction methods and farming practices from the 1800s.
The Tennessee Valley Authority acquired the property in 1969 due to its proximity to the Bear Creek Dam construction.
