The house and a miniature barn were built during the summers of 1928 and 1929 as a class project to encourage children to attend summer school at Shepherd College so that student teachers taking the summer demonstartion course would have a chance to work with children. Orginially Professor Florence Shaw, supervisor of the observation and teacher-training program, decided on a project that would have the children building a small chidren's garden on the overgrown lot in town. But with the encouragement of the college president, the small children's garden evolved into the creation of a one-acre miniature farm modeled after the farms in the Shenandoah Valley. | Credit line: West Virginia Collection within the Carol M.
