    Avant la Guerre Civile combien de familles vivaient dans chaque cabane en briques ?

    This room served as the sharecropper family's living room and dining room. It features a large wooden rocking chair and table with a red and white tablecloth.

    The two-room cabin is furnished to the 1950s sharecropper period.

    The second room served as a bedroom for the family with two beds in the corners of the room.

    Sharecroppers used both rooms of the cabin. Prior to the Civil War each room housed a family of enslaved workers.
