Abstract:

The colorful history of Durham town and tobacco often overshadow the outlying village and farms. Sprinkled among outlying wooded areas are small farms averaging in size 89.9, valued at $206.68 per acre in 1961, allowing the cultivation of tobacco and livestock. The biggest livestock show and sale in North Carolina takes place in Durham every spring, providing a forum for showcasing the product of 4-H and FFA members.
