A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO APPROPRIATE FUNDS FOR THE RESTORATION OF THE MOSS- JOHNSON FARM IN HENDERSON COUNTY.
Whereas, the original house and outbuildings of the Moss-Johnson Farm near Hendersonville, Henderson County, were built between 1872 and 1880 by Oliver Moss, a prosperous tobacco planter; and
Whereas, significant later outbuildings were added to the Moss-Johnson Farm property during its use in the early twentieth century as a farm, and then as a boarding house and retreat for summer tourists; and
Whereas, the Moss-Johnson Farm reflects the changing patterns of land use in Henderson County and Western North Carolina, from the late nineteenth century tobacco boom, to diversified farming, to boarding for summer tourists in the early twentieth century; and
Whereas, the Moss-Johnson Farm is listed in the National Register of Historic Places, and is owned by the Henderson County Board of Education; and
Whereas, the Department of Cultural Resources, Division of Archives and History, has worked with the Henderson County Board of Education on the study and preservation of this important historic resource, which is to be developed by the Henderson County Education Foundation as a local history and learning resource center for use by students in the Henderson County public school system; Now, therefore,
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  There is appropriated from the General Fund to the Henderson County Education Foundation, Inc., $268,100 for the 1989-90 fiscal year for the restoration and development of the Moss-Johnson Farm property in Henderson County.
Sec. 2.  The activities associated with this appropriation shall be performed in accordance with the standards and guidelines for such projects established by the Division of Archives and History, and shall be conducted under the professional guidance of that agency.
Sec. 3.  This act shall become effective July 1, 1989.
