Madison Campbell, of Campbell Insurance in Dover, Tennessee recently donated twenty golf umbrellas to the Friends of Land Between The Lakes for use by visitors to the 1850s Homeplace and Working Farm.

Campbell said in a release she has fond memories of the Homeplace on elementary field trips as a child. She adds, “it’s an honor for Campbell Insurance to partner with the Friends of Land Between the Lakes in this small role.” She went on to say, “it is cool to think that visitors from all over the world will enjoy the umbrellas.”

Homeplace Lead Interpreter Cindy Earls says the umbrellas are a welcome and practical gift, because sometimes people forget their own umbrellas but still want to take a walk around the farm.

Homeplace 1850s Working Farm and Living History Museum represents a two-generation farm and includes interpreters in period clothing doing daily chores. The farm also includes artifacts, restored historic structures and traditional seasonal activities, and an opportunity to relive history before the Civil War. In addition, it includes rare and endangered breeds of livestock, and a variety of garden plants and field crops, most from heirloom seeds. There is also an interpretive center, which includes a gift shop.
