Julia Stockton Dinsmore, born March 6, 1833, at Black Bayou Plantation in Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana, and died April 19, 1926, in Santa Barbara, California, was an American poet and farmer best remembered for her association with the Dinsmore Homestead in Boone County, Kentucky, now a public museum listed on the National Register of Historic Places. After inheriting the 371-acre homestead following her father's death in 1872, she managed its agricultural operations, raising sheep and cultivating grapes while keeping detailed journals documenting the challenges of farm management. Her poetry collection Verses and Sonnets was published in 1910 by Doubleday, Page and Company and received a positive critical reception.
