Jumping in puddles, climbing trees and digging in the backyard were the childhood memories Erin Napier dreamt up for her young daughters, Helen and Mae, when she and husband, Ben Napier, decided to buy their country house. "When they come inside at the end of the day, I want their hair to be tangled and their bath water to be dirty," Erin said. The 4,000-square-foot brick Tudor situated on acreage just outside of Laurel once housed a bustling chicken farm similar to the one Erin grew up on, which made it the perfect family getaway for the Home Town hosts. Boasting much of the original woodwork and craftsmanship from the 1930s, the stately home became the Napiers' most personal renovation project yet. Now, the well-preserved historic charmer — located in the heart of rural Mississippi — transports visitors to the quaint English countryside.
