  • Description
  • The Thompson family was to rise to prominence in the area, as the farm remained in the family for more than 100 years. William M. Thompson built this farmhouse in the 19th century. It was one of the first houses in Monroeville to have natural gas, and neighbors congregated at the big house on the hill for community social events, drawn by the modern convenience that lit the rooms.
