Historic Galivants Ferry

Tenant Houses
c. 1915-1928

These three room cabins housed day laborers who worked as field hands in nearby fields. Land farther away was "sharecropped" by families living in larger tenant houses. Such tenants received a half share of the profits from tobacco, cotton, or soy beans. In the 1930's and 40's between 1200 to 1500 men, women, and children were supported by the sharecropping system of that area.
