Our November 10, 2020 meeting featured Penny Toombs, the director of the Johnny Cash Boyhood Home and Southern Tenant Farmers Museum, two of Arkansas State University’s Heritage Sites.

The Historic Dyess Colony: Johnny Cash Boyhood Home preserves a federal agricultural resettlement community, which provided a fresh start for nearly 500 impoverished Arkansas farm families, including the family of music legend Johnny Cash.

The Southern Tenant Farmers Museum enhances knowledge and understanding of tenant farming and agricultural labor movements in the Mississippi River Delta, in an effort to preserve the history and promote the legacy of sharecropping, tenant farming and the farm labor movement.

Tune in to hear the new director talk about these historic sites.
