Welcome to the Official Website of the Cumberland Homesteads Tower Association, a non-profit organization dedicated to historic preservation.

In the heart of the Cumberland Homesteads Historic District sits the Homesteads Tower Museum. The Homesteads Tower was built in 1937-1938 to house the administrative offices of the Cumberland Homesteads, a project of FDR’s New Deal Subsistence Homesteading.

The octagonal stone tower houses a water tank and a winding stairway that lead to a lookout platform at the top.  At the base of the tower is a museum with photos, documents, and artifacts from the 1930s and 1940s.
