This farm was home to four generations of the Funkhouser family, who owned the property between the 1830s and late 1960s. The farm, which dates to the late 1700s, along with its evolved farmhouse and associated outbuildings, is representative of the continued and sustained growth of agriculture as a leading economic force in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley during the 19th century.
