Add to SetSummary
Amos and Grace Mattox--descended from enslaved African Americans--raised several children in this rural Georgia farmhouse during the 1930s. The house--now located in Greenfield Village--is furnished to depict life during the Great Depression when hard work and determination were needed to survive. The grape arbor provided a cool, shady work area out of the hot, Georgia sun.
