Located 1.64 miles south of Kentucky and 3.2 miles north of Tennessee, on the eastern outskirts of Ewing in Virginia’s Lee County, the Gibson Farm encompasses 13.6 acres centered on the Gibson Farmhouse, the original part of which was standing by 1830 and appended later in the  19th century. The house is a rare surviving early antebellum  dwelling with later 19th century additions and notable features located in rural  and remote Lee County, historically one of Virginia’s poorest counties. Other significant resources include a half-dovetail-notched log granary and large v-notched log meathouse, both located a short distance to the rear of the house, and the Gibson family cemetery located about 100 feet off the west front corner of the house. The c. 1891 Louisville & Nashville (L&N) Railroad bed runs through the property, along the Indian Creek  bottomlands.
