Gallery Label

Hunter’s Home was the residence of George Michael Murrell and Minerva Ross, the oldest daughter of John Ross’s brother Lewis Ross. Lewis was a merchant, planter, and National Treasurer of the Cherokee Nation. Murrell moved with his wife's family to the West, where he established a plantation and built a large home like those in Virginia. He named the Greek Revival-style house "Hunter's Home" because of his love for fox hunting.
