The original Farmhouse was thought to have been built between 1830 to 1840 and passed through a number of families over the years. In 1917, Levi Wesley Murray and his bride Kate Whann Moody Murray bought 147 acres of the land then known as the Brown Farm, and moved into The Farmhouse in 1918, after the previous owner’s crops had been harvested. The couple resided in The Farmhouse with their five children, two of whom were born in the Farmhouse. The house was eventually passed down to the youngest, Ralph Murray, who raised five children there and continued to to farm the land until the late 1960s when it was developed into a community now known as Murray Manor.
