Established in the early 1830s, the Hembree Farm was a working agricultural concern well into the twentieth century.

The main house and surviving outbuildings were in the possession of Hembree family members until 2007, when the farmhouse, the detached kitchen, two corn cribs, and one acre of land were donated to the Roswell Historical Society.

Recognizing that they possessed rare examples of nineteenth-century farm buildings under single-family ownership, the Roswell Historical Society obtained a National Trust for Historic Preservation grant to document the property.  Laura Drummond was hired to produce architectural evaluations and conditions assessments of the four buildings.
