THE CULTURAL LANDSCAPE OF THE PLANTATION


The Big House was a two-story house; white like most houses during that time. On the north side of the Big House sat a great big barn, where all the stock and stuff that was raised was kept. Off to the southwest of the barn, west of the Big House, set about five or six log houses. -- William Henry Towns, former slave describing a plantation near Tuscumbia, Alabama
