A Timeless Treasure in Kernersville.
The Harmon House, nestled in the heart of Kernersville, North Carolina, began its story in 1858 as a modest two-room log cabin. Over the years, this historic home has grown and evolved, becoming an architectural icon and a beloved part of the community. In the 1880s, the house underwent its first major transformation, adopting a center-hall plan that was both practical and elegant for the time. The mid-20th century brought new challenges when the house faced the threat of demolition. Thanks to the dedication of preservationists, The Harmon House was relocated a few lots west to its current site in the 1950s, securing its place as a cherished piece of Kernersville’s heritage.

History & Community Coming together

Built in 1858 by Julius Harmon, Grandson of town founder, Joseph Kerner. Julius Harmon's children, D.W. Harmon and Tilly Harmon would live in the house throughout their lives. The house was remodeled by DeWitt (D.W.) in the 1920s to resemble the popular Colonial Revival style. After D.W.'s death in 1948, The Harmon House has served as a private home, an antique shop, an interior decorating office and now the perfect venue for your special event.
While its roots are firmly planted in the 19th century, The Harmon House has been lovingly restored to serve as an elegant venue for modern events. From weddings and rehearsal dinners to corporate events and community gatherings, this historic home continues to bring people together in the spirit of joy and connection. The house’s charm lies not only in its preserved architecture but in the stories it holds—a perfect backdrop for creating new memories that will be cherished for generations.
