Helton-Mayo Farm, Lawrence County, Indiana Indiana Division of Historic Preservation and Archaeology 402 West Washington Street, Room W274 Indianapolis, IN 46204 317-232-1646 National Register of Historic Places – Sample Nomination Form Helton-Mayo Farm, Lawrence County, Indiana Rural properties typically include buildings and structures diverse in age, building materials, and use. Indiana farms were usually diversified operations that practiced a high degree of self- sufficiency. This photo of the Helton- Mayo Farm captures the overall layout of the farmstead. Don’t forget to give your application the big picture as well as the details! This nomination documents a southern Indiana farm that includes an early vernacular brick house, log barn, various special-use farm buildings, as well as a 1950 arched-roof dairy barn. The authors drew on census data, local histories, and evidence offered in the buildings themselves to explain how the property meets the National Register Criteria in the areas of agriculture, settlement and architecture. If you’re having trouble classifying the vernacular architecture of your farm, the Indiana Division of Historic Preservation and Archaeology can help. The map provides the reader with a sense of the organization of the farm and helps define contributing (historic) from non- contributing (non-historic) buildings. Many internet services or county offices provide aerial mapping or other graphic mapping systems that can be used to prepare maps for properties with numerous support buildings.

  • Slaves and Slaveholders in the Choctaw Nation: 1830-1866

Harland Haglen, Major Professor Randolph Campbell, Committee Member F. Todd Smith, Committee Member Richard McCaslin, Chair of the Department of History Michael Monticino, Interim Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Fortney Jr., Jeffrey L. Slaves and Slaveholders in the Choctaw Nation: 1830-1866. Master of Arts (History), May 2009, 71 pp., 5 tables, 4 figures, bibliography, 46 titles. Racial slavery was a critical element in the cultural development of the Choctaws and was a derivative of the peculiar institution in southern states. The idea of genial and hospitable slave owners can no more be conclusively demonstrated for the Choctaws than for the antebellum South. The participation of Choctaws in the Civil War and formal alliance with the Confederacy was dominantly influenced by the slaveholding and a connection with southern identity, but was also influenced by financial concerns and an inability to remain neutral than a protection of the peculiar institution. Had the Civil War not taken place, the rate of Choctaw slave ownership possibly would have reached the level of southern states and the Choctaws would be considered part of the South.

  • Appalachian Folk Music Background and History the Appalachian Mountains Extend 1,500 Miles from Maine to Georgia. They Pass Thro
    Appalachian Folk Music Background and History The Appalachian Mountains extend 1,500 miles from Maine to Georgia. They pass through 18 states and encompass the Green Mountains of New Hampshire and Vermont, the Berkshires of Connecticut, New York's Catskills, the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, and the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. The region known as the Southern Highlands, or Upland South, covers most of West Virginia and parts of Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, Maryland, the Carolinas, and Virginia. In colonial times, this area was known as the "Back Country." Appalachian people share a common cultural heritage that is expressed through their speech and dialect, their building methods and crafts, their religions and superstitions, and, most of all, their music. Appalachian folk music developed its characteristic sounds over several centuries of immigration, movement, and settlement. During the seventeenth century, the earliest settlers in the area were Anglo-Celtic: English, Scottish, Irish, and Welsh. They settled the eastern seaboard, and as they pushed westward, their way was barred by the continuous ridges of the Appalachians. The good farmland of the Piedmont, between the mountains and the ocean, was quickly claimed by powerful landowners, so the settlers were forced to make their living from the thinner soil of the mountains. It wasn't until 1750 that the Cumberland Gap was discovered, which led to the fertile bluegrass country of Kentucky. These mountain regions of Kentucky, however, were not settled until 1835, when President Andrew Jackson made a cruel treaty with the Native American population and the area was opened up for farming.

The conflict devastated a region that had previously enjoyed impressive economic growth. The years of suffering during the war eventually left the region largely depopulated. As people returned to the region after the war was over, unionists and their families fought not only to rebuild, but to secure the benefits they felt their loyalty to the federal government deserved.
