Moore-Webb-Holmes Plantation, Plantation in Alabama, United States
Moore-Webb-Holmes Plantation is a working farm on Alabama State Route 14 near Marion, Alabama. Its main house burned in 1927, but the outbuildings, barns, cook house and other structures remain intact and preserved. The plantation began with 80 acres in 1819 and gradually expanded to thousands of acres.
William Moore, a wagon maker from South Carolina, started the plantation in 1819 on 80 acres and built a simple house. The family expanded the land over decades, and after slavery was abolished, they employed tenant farmers and sharecroppers.
The name comes from the families who have worked this land for generations. The remaining buildings show how people lived and worked together here, from the main operations down to the worker housing and craft workshops.
Tours are available by appointment, and special events such as "Fall in Folsom" are held each October with music, hay rides, and pumpkins. The site sits on Highway 14, roughly seven miles west of Marion.
A deed signed by President Andrew Jackson is kept in the country store, which also displays cooking stoves and old tools. The building opened in 1875 and offers a glimpse into 19th century merchant life.
