If you enjoy the history of rural South Georgia during the Great Depression, you’ll enjoy this site. I’m using Library of Congress images, as well as feedback and personal items from people related to the Irwinville Farms Project. Irwinville Farms was one of many Farm Security Administration resettlement communities, and we’re quite lucky to have the large visual archive that we do to document the common folk of the 1930s. I love looking at the images, and I think you will, too. [The photograph above was made in May 1938 by John Vachon: "Rolling a cigarette. Irwinville Farms, Georgia."]
Thanks for the head up.
I didnt see the light of day until 1944. But, I remember with great fondness, respect and admiration, the stories my Mother told to me about growing up during the depression in Inaha, Turner Co., Ga. Her only surviving sybling, started his 96 th year this past May. He is sharp as a tack, I ask about those days on the farm and he’ll slip back in time and from his kind heart, he’ll let me tag along. The memories and storied are priceless.
Thank you so much for developing this web site.
