Hybrid seed disease resistant crops artificial breeding persistence and good management helped save the farm. G.T. Hopkins who bought the farm from his father in law was an innovator and entrepreneur.

Hopkins III.Cave Hill Farm has been a grain farm producing some of the finest wheat for local use in nearby flour mills. It had a fifteen acre wine growing operation in the late eighteen hundreds. In recent years it has been a dairy and poultry farm producing products for local processors. John L. Hopkins John L. Hopkins Jr. and John L. Hopkins III were all born and raised here.The original house was log very small and probably stood near the cave for water. In eighteen hundred and thirty an Englishman was employed to build this manor house which took three years. The house has ten rooms plus the basement. The original family cooked all the food in the large basement fireplace and the family dinner was in the room off the basement kitchen. The family only ate in the first floor dining room if guests were coming. Most guests stayed overnight before modern transportation which made traveling long distances slow.The bricks in the house were made from clay on the farm. The outer walls are fifteen inches thick the inner walls are twelve inches thick. There are enough bricks in the house to build thirty brick homes of todays style. The pine timbers came from nearby mountains.
