Ewing Farm is a historic farmhouse three miles [2] away from Lewisburg, Tennessee, US.
The house was built in 1830 for James V. Ewing, a farmer who owned slaves. [3] Aside from the great house, he built several other buildings, including slave cabins and two cemeteries. [3] His son, John C. C. Ewing, graduated from the University of Nashville and served as a surgeon in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War; he inherited the farm in 1878. [3] Ewing died in 1917 and his nephew, James Oliver Ewing, purchased the property two years later, where he summered with his wife Helen White Johnson and their two daughters. [3] It was later inherited by his daughter Helen Ewing and Jack Goodman, [4] whose twin sons moved into the house by the 1980s. [3]
The house was designed in the Greek Revival architectural style. [3] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since April 5, 1984. [5]
