History
In 1890, two prominent families came together when William J. Ranson and Ellen Hunter Ranson married. Both the Ransons and the Hunters, for whom Huntersville is named, were well-known farming families active in their church and community. In 1913, they built a Colonial Revival-style farmhouse, enhanced with a wrap-around veranda, porch pediments, and classical columns. The farmhouse estate, originally located on 3,200 acres, was a dairy farm and a gathering place for all. It was also the first home in Huntersville to have indoor plumbing, electricity, and a telephone. W.J. and Ellen raised their ten children in the house and welcomed visitors from everywhere. The remaining Ranson and Hunter families gather occasionally for reunions, sharing stories from their youth and time spent on the veranda and inside the home. Today, we celebrate these two families and bring elements of our family history with vintage china and glassware, some even family heirlooms of our own.
