Moorefields was built in 1785 as a summer home by Alfred Moore, a Revolutionary military leader, founder of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and prominent jurist who ultimately served as the second and last North Carolinian on the United States Supreme Court. The 70 acres of woodlands and permanent pasture at Moorefields are currently maintained as a wildlife refuge.

Our support helps to preserve this historical home for generations to come, as a window to the past and a landmark preserving the memory of the founder of University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The property is one of the few remaining examples of early Federal architecture in North Carolina and through the care of former owners and the Moorefields Foundation, has been restored and has become a protected landmark.

Each year we support Moorefields by sponsoring the Bluegrass Festival, an afternoon of wonderful live music and great company. See more about the Bluegrass festival here!
