About Rural Hill

Rural Hill is a unique piece of Mecklenburg County history. John and Violet Davidson were the homesteaders of this historic site, which has been preserved for over 250 years. John was a Major in the Mecklenburg County Militia before and during the Revolutionary War and also signed the famous “Meck Dec” of 1775. The couple moved to Mecklenburg County from Lancaster, Pennsylvania in 1752 when John was 16 years old. After he turned 21, he began purchasing land and eventually built the two-room log cabin known as “Rural Retreat” for his family when he married Violet Wilson in 1761. This homestead has been maintained over the centuries and remains a beloved landmark of the county.
