Abstract:

Mrs. Paul Webb, Sr. cared for the historic homestead in Shelby. The Old Southern Homestead was transformed into a museum of southern antiquities. Mrs. Webb Sr. collected art, artifacts, and folk crafts representative of the state's history. Along with these pieces, Mrs. Webb Sr. also renovated the interior of the homestead to reflect the historic character of a typical plantation 'big house.'
