Homespun, a 1790's log, stone and brick house on 466 acres, was originally the home of John Miller. In 1815, the property was left to his son, Godfrey, and daughter, Rebecca. Upon her marriage in 1824, Homespun became the residence of Rebecca Miller and her husband, John N. Bell. The home and grounds remained in the Miller/Bell family until near the end of the Civil War when John N. Bell, a prisoner of war, lost the farm to creditors. Stewart Bell Sr., a grandson of John N. Bell, bought the property and paid off the debt 75 years later.
