Moses Tucker (1833-1890) came to Texas from Kentucky with his twin brother, Aaron, in 1853. A log cabin was built on this land. After serving in the Civil War, Tucker returned to Parker County and to his wife, Martha Elizabeth (Cockburn) (1839-1915), and family. According to oral tradition, the current building was erected in 1889 and consists of vertical boards with lap siding in a vernacular architectural style. The home included two rooms with a central hall and an attic. The back half of the house was later added with a kitchen area, porches, and a bath. The Tucker family farmed the land for more than a century before donating the property to the Silver Creek Heritage Society.
