At one time, the area in the photograph was open to homesteaders. The land was not forgiving and almost all of them moved to better land. All that remains are some lone trees where they settled.
The Chesser family settled in the Okefenokee in the late 1850s and lived there for about 100 years. The current homestead was build in 1927. Chesser family descendants still live in Southeast Georgia today.
We first tried to go to the Okefenokee Swamp in 1985 but were told it was closed due to a drought. In 2004, we considered trying go there again on another vacation through the Southeast, but it had been another dry year. Finally, in 2018, we were able to go.

Due to the harsh terrain, the area was not settled until the 1900s, when South Dakota published advertisements promoting 65 ha of land. This was found to be insufficient to raise a family, and soon raised to 260ha in the area. These efforts still largely failed after the Dust Bowl and much of the land here remains ranchland or Federal property.

Oscar Wheaton Homestead, 1905 . It's on private property so this is as close as you can get. . . when there is a ranger parked near by.
The Justin Morrill homestead in Stratford Vermont. I've always noticed the highway signs; this time I had the time so I followed them. I had no idea who Justin Morrill was, and the place was still seasonally closed. I've since found out that if your alma mater had a Morrill Hall, it was probably named after the guy who lived here.

Hassanamisco Homestead, aka Cisco Homestead, 80 Brigham HIll Road, Grafton - one of earliest "English" style wood-frame homes built for Native American use
The Davenport Homestead is a beautifully preserved, conserved and restored set of buildings dating from around 1800.
Unlike the buildings which are traditionally preserved - those of the rich - this represents the home, life and work of a fairly humble family.
Daniel Davenport and his wife had five daughters and after his death the farm was divided between them.
My thanks to ~jeannie~ for telling me about the homestead. She is lucky enough to live nearby.
