Kenmore Farm is a historic farm and educational property at 369 Kenmore Road, just outside Amherst, Virginia. The centerpiece of the more than 130acres property is a c. 1856 brick Greek Revival farmhouse, built by Samuel Garland, Sr., a prominent local lawyer and politician. The property was used intermittently between 1872 and 1899 as a preparatory high school, operated by Henry Aubrey Strode, who later became the first president of Clemson University. As such, its building complex includes a dormitory and apartment building in addition to various mainly agricultural outbuildings, including a corn crib and barn, and the remnants of an outdoor summer kitchen. The property has seen predominantly agrarian use in the 20th century.[1]
The property was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.
