====== Joel Garnett House (BE 376) ====== Joel Garnett House Located on Conner Road near [[Hebron]], the land the house stands on originally belonged to Valentine Johnson of Orange County, Virginia.

The [[historic homes|house]] is a hall-parlor log dwelling built to two stories, with one pen stacked on another. The logs are secured by V-notching, chinked with small diagonal stones and protected by weatherboarding. At the rear is a single-story frame ell that appears to date from the mid-19th century. The house is virtually unaltered on the exterior. During the 20th century the Moore family operated an apple orchard and, later, a plant nursery here. ===== Related Topics ===== * [[Garnett family]] * [[Historic Homes]]
