I might be posting this thread in the wrong area, I'll let the moderators move it to "contemporary photos/events" if need be. I live about half a mile from the site of the Johnson family farm aka "Clover Hill." I moved to Manassas City in 1988. The Clover Hill farm was still intact and their dairy cows were still out in the fields despite the property already being sold off. The Johnson family had a huge auction selling all the farm equipment that was still functional in their possession. That was really a neat thing to witness. The little roads back in '88 around the farm property and my neighborhood have now been replaced with divided two lane roads, stop signs and traffic lights. My initial reason for going over to what remains of the Clover Hill Farm today was to take pictures of the slave quarters to add to a post on Facebook about Black History Month that I plan to do this weekend.
I thought I'd share these images I took today here on CivilWarTalk. Hope everyone enjoys them. The Manassas Museum is in possession of many artifacts/dug up relics the Johnson family donated. These pics shown attached are of the slave quarters and the Johnson family cemetery. There's one enlarged image of what the farm looked like before it was sold off and donated to the Methodist Church.
