Moss Cottage is situated on the site of the farm of Joyce's great grandfather Albert Alexander Murdock, Esq. Moss Cottage was built on family property by Joyce's father as a starter home for his young family in 1950. He set up a sawmill and cut the timber on the property from old growth oak trees. Joyce hopes to preserve some of her family history with organic gardening and permaculture that was practiced by her family for generations as their a way of life.

The NC Raptor Center near Charlotte releases them into this area periodically, and if you have time to visit the Raptor Center on Interstate 77 near Huntersville, it is very interesting.
