A descendant-led public history of a Black family homeplace in Catawba, South Carolina.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-11 issue.

Field notes

The project uses a single rural house as an entry point into a wider family and regional history. Its navigation separates the account into story, Rosenwald school, highway, timeline, archive, and participation sections, suggesting a deliberately assembled public-history record rather than a simple family announcement. The homepage describes a one-story frame house of roughly 900 square feet, with composition siding, a metal roof, and two raised porches, and places its movement alongside the family’s transition from farming to homeownership.
