Was the Homeplace part of a town in the 1850s?
The Homeplace family farm was close to the community of Bass, Tennessee in 1850. The name was later changed to Model, Tennessee. It was close to the thriving Great Western Furnace complex in the mid 1850’s. It was a thriving community in its day with industry and commerce as well as good family life. It was joined by other Iron Furnaces on LBL at the time.
