Minnie Estep/Gibb Ayers Homeplace

The Minnie Estep/Gibb Ayers Homeplace is an historic house in Harrogate, Tennessee. It was built by William Estep in 1870 as a log home and later expanded with brick additions by his daughter, Minnie Estep. Serving as a school, church, and community center during the early twentieth century, this house now stands on the National Register of Historic Places due to its unique architecture and historical significance. Visitors can explore hand-crafted woodwork, wide floorboards, and original fireplaces while immersing themselves in rural Tennessee life from the late 1800s to early 1900s.
