Perciphull Campbell House

The Perciphull Campbell House is a two-story timber-frame residence in Union Grove built around 1820 with a pitched roof and stone foundation. The structure showcases exterior brick chimneys and interior fireplaces decorated in Georgian and Federal styles typical of early 1800s construction.

The residence was constructed around 1820 and remained in Campbell family hands for several generations until 1935, when L.C. Henderson acquired the property. This transfer marked the end of family stewardship that had spanned more than a century.

The residence follows a hall and parlor plan, incorporating massive fireplaces with Georgian and Federal style mantels common in early American architecture.

The property preserves several outbuildings including a smokehouse, stone well, and corn storage structure that together show how a working farm operated in this era. These surviving buildings help visitors understand the daily functions of a household and its surrounding agricultural activities.

Hunting Creek nearby was home to a tub mill operated by John Campbell in the early 1800s, processing local grain and materials for the region. This small mill linked the household to early industrial work and the water power that drove local commerce.
