Reconstructing a southern tobacco plantation

Steve McDonnell a 6th Grade US History 1 at J. Frank Hillyard Middle School in Broadway, Virginia shares some photos of his students' latest creation.

"My students built a southern tobacco plantation (circa 1776) this semester. It included slaves quarters with a vegetable garden and overseer's house, a manor house and tobacco field, a stable, warehouse, workshops, a river barge, and a dock. All the items on the plantation were made by the students with glue, tape, toothpicks, colored paper, and clay except for the pine trees and wooden barrels." - Steve McDonnell
