The Kincaid Farm

The Kincaid farm has been in the family since at least 1892 when it was owned by Socrates Kincaid. The farm had been traditionally used for family gardening and raising cattle along with horses, mules, pigs, and chickens. It was also used for growing and drying tobacco that was transported and sold at the tobacco warehouses in Lexington. Socrates had multitudes of children but after his death, the remaining children deeded the entirety of the land to his son, Martin Luther Kincaid. Around 1930, Martin Luther sold the farm to his son Victor Kincaid who cut timber off the land. The timber was taken to the saw mill and bored into planks which was cured in the barn. This wood was used to build the farmhouse by hand with no modern equipment and with the help of one other person who lived nearby in 1932. Victor married Georgia Day and together they raised 10 children on the farm with no running water.  Laundry was done in the wash house with water from the well. The family was fed by only what they raised on the farm.

The Farmhouse

December 2009, the farmhouse was bought by Jeff and Angie Kincaid Noe, the 5th generation descent of Socrates Kincaid. The grand remodel began in May of 2010 and was completed February 2011. This included new siding, porch and porch post, installed central heat and air, new plumbing, new electric, and more efficient windows and doors.  During the updating and remodeling, the new owners preserved as much original aspects of the house as possible. Ideally located near the Red River Gorge and Natural Bridge State Park, the farmhouse is now a weekend family getaway.
