The home, built in 1772 by Philip Alston, was the site of a battle between loyalists under the command of David Fanning and patriot militiamen under Alston's command on either July 29 or August 5, 1781 (the date being unclear in available records).[2] The battle ended with Alston's surrender to Fanning, in which Alston's wife negotiated the terms with the loyalists.[3][4] In 1798, the home was sold to Benjamin Williams, who would become Governor of North Carolina from 1799-1802, and again in 1807-1808. Williams owned approximately 103 slaves and produced about 300 acres of cotton annually at the site of the house.[3] The Moore County Historical Association purchased the home in 1954, and ownership was then transferred to the state in 1955. The property was made a North Carolina Historic Site in 1971. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.[1] The property is now used as a museum and as the site of Revolutionary War reenactments and living history demonstrations each year.[5] References1. ^1 {{NRISref|version=2010a}} 2. ^William H.
