- Farmville's choice: In this lesson, students will learn about rural life in North Carolina at the turn of the century. Home demonstration and 4H clubs implemented many programs to help people learn better farming techniques, ways of preserving food, and taking care of the home. Several North Carolina leaders went to great lengths to ensure the success of these programs. In part of this activity, students help the town of Farmville dedicate a monument to one of those people.

This is a black and white photo of the Vestals, an older man and woman, in their Chatham County kitchen. They are dressed in 1940s attire, but their stove is very old. The woman has her hand on the handle of a coffee pot. She is wearing a floral printed long sleeve shirt and is smiling and facing the man, who is sitting on the other side of the stove reading a newspaper. A hurricane lamp sits above him on a shelf.
