Located on Sapelo Island, Farmers Alliance Hall has received two Georgia Heritage Grants.  In SFY 2002 the project received $8,100 for preparation of a historic structure report, including a conditions assessment, measured drawings, and a rehabilitation feasibility report. In SFY 2006, $20,000 was awarded to repair the foundation, windows, doors, trim, stairs, and siding.  Members of the Hog Hammock community on Sapelo Island, which was settled prior to the Civil War and is today inhabited by descendants of the islands plantation slaves, constructed the Farmers Alliance Hall building in 1929.  It was used by the community as a meeting place for local chapters of three secret African American Masonic organizations: the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons, the Order of the Eastern Star, and the Evergreen Lodge of the Good Samaritans Number 109.  The building was also used as a central gathering location for annual cultural festivals for the residents of Hog Hammock and visitors, a function that continues at the site to this day.

For the SFY 2003 round of grants, the Hamilton Plantation Slave Cabins (above) received $18,500 for the repair of the deteriorated tabby walls and repair of the cypress trim on the doors, windows, and eaves.  Hamilton Plantation was established in 1793 on Gascoigne Bluff on St. Simons Island for the production of cotton and shipping of oak and pine timbers.  Of the several tabby slave cabins built on the plantation, only two remain.  Each cabin is divided in the center by a fireplace, creating two rooms that housed two families.  Since 1932, the Cassina Garden Club has used the buildings as a meeting place. The cabins were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. 

The Ossabaw Island Foundation received $6,000 in SFY 2000 to complete a Historic American Building Survey (HABS) in order to properly document three slave and tenant houses (above) at North End Plantation on Ossabaw Island.  Ossabaw is an extraordinary combination of historic, cultural, and archaeological resources on Georgia's coast.  Dr. Dave Crass, Georgia's state archaeologist, explains that the North End Plantation is easily one of the most important African American slave sites in the Southeast.  The slave and tenant houses located on Ossabaw were constructed of tabby sometime after 1840, although the history of slaves on the island dates to as early as 1760 when North End plantation was established to harvest live oaks and grow indigo as a cash crop.  Slave quarters are rare resources that have often been erased from the landscape, making Ossabaw of exceptional importance because it offers examples that are substantially intact.
