About this home
Welcome to 115 Brackett Street—an extraordinary opportunity to own a true piece of North Carolina history. Known as the Etta Baker Estate, this property is the original homeplace of legendary Piedmont blues musician Etta Baker, whose influence shaped generations of American music.
Born in Caldwell County and raised in Morganton, Etta Baker became one of the most celebrated traditional blues guitarists of the 20th century, inspiring artists such as Bob Dylan and Taj Mahal with her distinctive fingerstyle sound. Her music, rooted deeply in the culture and spirit of the Appalachian region, continues to resonate around the world today.
