Significance: The Woods Homestead consists of a house, portions of a decorative cast and wrought iron fence and steel gate, a small domestic building, and a barn. Together, these elements represent a typical late nineteenth to early twentieth century rural West Virginia homestead. The Woods Homestead house, outbuilding, and fence all remain in private ownership after it was determined by the Natural Resources Conservation Service that they would be outside the designated project area. Only the barn has been purchased by the Natural Resources Conservation Service and is within the designated project area.
