Sam Ripley Farm is a historic farm near Midway, Georgia in rural Liberty County, Georgia. The structure was built in 1926 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.
History[edit]
The farm was built in 1926 by Sam Ripley on a portion of his father Harry Ripley's land.[2] The building is typical of subsistence farms of the era. Ripley died in 1988 and the property was sold in 1994. Following some rehabilitation, the property was operated as a bed and breakfast.[2] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 27, 2004.[3]
According to documentation by the NRHP, the building is "representative of the type of African-American subsistence farmsteads developed after the Civil War." The structure is an example of vernacular architecture.[3]
