- Description:
- Koinonia Farm, founded in 1942 by Clarence Jordan and Martin England, began as an experiment to establish a racially integrated Christian community and working communal farm. This aerial view of the farm was taken in 1953.
Aerial view of Koinonia Farm in Sumter County Georgia, 1953. Attempting to live out the principles of pacifism, simplicity, and racial integration, a pair of white Baptist ministers, Martin England and Clarence Jordan, established Koinonia Farm on 400 acres in rural Sumter County, Georgia in 1942. Four long buildings sit at the top of the photograph. Four smaller white buildings appear below these long buildings. The third building from the left is a two-story building; the others are single-story. Several barns appear at the bottom of the photograph. The farm is flat, and very few trees grow on the farmland. - Metadata URL:
