King Homestead (now called New Moon Farm) is a log home located in Cottontown, Sumner County, Tennessee. It was built in 1798 by William King as the first home for him and his new bride, Caroline Hassell. The home remained in the King family for one hundred years, before being sold outside the family. The home has undergone renovation and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.

The ancient beards, the helms of ruby and gold
Of the crowned Magi; and the king whose eyes
Saw the Pierced Hands and Rood of elder rise
In Druid vapour and make the torches dim....”
