The Harper House at Forest Grove Preserve

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 down the road. We are excited to exhibit art by self-taught artists, including children. Also, the site provides a history lesson for school classes to see how people lived in the 1800s and a meeting place for families and clubs. For current events and exhibits at the Harper House please see the events and news page.
