A journey that began four decades ago as a roadside fruit tree stand in Kingwood has continued to evolve and grow as one of Preston County’s oldest family-owned and operated businesses. Lucas Tatham, second-generation and Trellis Smith, are at the helm of Modern Homestead, affectionately known as Tathams by the locals.
Founded in 1980, Modern Homestead transformed the local garden center into a celebration of living and nature. Tatham and Smith were inspired by the idea of using their land, buildings and talent to create an experience for the senses, catering to customers with a curated assortment of plants and handcrafted products for all seasons. In growing their lifestyle business, they created Modern Homestead Guest House, which includes three guesthouses housing 6 well-appointed guest suites.
