The Perry Farm with its 1820 farm house built by John and Nancy Perry, is an intact historic farm complex significant in local African-American social history. Like many former slaves after emancipation, Feggins Perry became a tenant farmer on the land where he was once bound. Owned by white members of the Perry family for most of the nineteenth century, in 1914 the property was acquired by Feggins Perry’s son, Guyon Perry, and it remains in that family to the present.
