Originally founded by John Barefoot and expanded by Daniel Jenifer, Haberdeventure estate is steeped in history. Thomas Stone bought the estate in 1770, preserving it within his family for 166 years.

Following restorations completed in 1997, it now spans 328 acres, serving as a historical hub for inquisitive visitors.
