The house and its environs are currently used as a living history exhibit and museum dedicated to exhibiting the facets of daily life in the antebellum North Carolina Piedmont. The site is operated by a nonprofit corporation, but the land is owned by Mecklenburg County, and maintained by the Mecklenburg County Parks and Recreation department. The property also houses the Ezekiel Alexander Log Home, a log building built between 1760 and 1790, that formerly sat in nearby Charlotte.
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.
