How did we get here? Part 15

In the all of Highland County there are only 8 homes for sale 😱🏠. Inventory is low. If you want to sell a house now is the best time to get the most money for it and if you are out buying a home don't waste any time place your offer asap!⏳ #highlandcounty #avonpark #avonparkflorida #lorida #lakeplacid #sebring #Florida #affordablehousing (at Highlands County, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CE4bhLWHapl/?igshid=11w92ytgvgw1s

While at the bakery the other day, I smiled at someone which led to a conversation about #hay because that's the subject of the woman's #oilpaintings but also the foundation of #cheesemaking (as you know). She and I had a connection! Going further into our #commonground, it turned out the oil painter has a friend who is soon to get a cow. 'Any friend with a cow is a friend of mine!' I told her wholeheartedly. So tomorrow I trek into #highlandcounty to meet the friend with a cow. #fingerscrossed #startswithasmile #milkhunt #degreesofseparation #findingmywhey

Part 8 of my portrait series on racial identity and genealogical heritage in Southeast Ohio; meet Paul E. Turner of the Gist Settlement, b.1931 New Vienna, OH. Through the terms of his will, British absentee landowner Samuel Gist (c.1723-1815) freed his 350 Virginia slaves and provided funds for their relocation, the purchase of land and homes, and the establishment of schools and churches. Gist’s executors acquired over 2,000 acres of land in Ohio, including two large tracts in Scott and Eagle townships in Brown County in 1819. In 1831 and 1835, an agent of the Gist estate purchased 207 acres in Fairfield Township (now Penn Township), Highland County, and divided the acreage into thirty-one lots. The Gist Settlement in Highland County was the last to be purchased and settled. In 1857, the Ohio Legislature granted the Highland County Court of Common Pleas control over the freedmen’s trust monies. “I just want to get things straight before I leave here. I take nothing with me. I’ve paid $100, 000 if you add up all the current and back taxes on this land. Everyone who owned the small plots on this settlement are dead now, and all of them are all considered residential. That’s why I pay more taxes than anyone in Highland County, but there aren’t any houses anymore, it’s all farmland, so I’m going get that changed. In Hillsboro, Ohio, they want this place to disappear because the money for the taxes disappeared.” #portraits #bw #blackandwhite #heritage #history #blackhistory #ohio #storyportrait #life #hipstamatic #instagood #genealogy #past #Settlement #highlandcounty
