Coming soon to Forest Grove Preserve: The Harper House

FGP received a grant from the GA Council of the Arts to restore the last standing 100-year-old sharecropper house at Forest Grove and to create within it a folk-art museum/gallery. The Harper House is named for the family who raised ten children in the 2-room house from 1954 till 1979. Descendants still live out the road. We are excited to exhibit art by self-taught artists, including children. Also, we want the site to provide a history lesson for school classes to see how people lived in the 1800s and a meeting place for families and clubs.
