E. Carroll Joyner Park offers much more than just a place to fish, walk, or take pictures at. If you're interested in history, then you might want to take a look at this blog post or even go there yourself.
History in Joyner Park:
To start, this park offers many historic buildings to look at. All of these are restored farm buildings and are in great condition. Joyner Park offers three unique farm buildings that can be found towards the middle of the park. The farm buildings that can be found here are the chicken coop, the mule barn, and the tobacco barn. If you have any questions or comments about this page, feel free to comment on our YouTube channel or ask any questions in the community group.
The first building you will come up to is the chicken coop (depending on which route you take). Joyner Park allows people to enter the chicken coop. While it is small, the coop is in great condition and shows how tight living conditions were for animals.
The next building you may come across is the tobacco barn. The building is small, and you may not enter. Despite not being able to go inside, you can still see it very well from the outside. The building reflects what most tobacco barns looked like on farms.
The last building you will see (and arguably the best) is the mule barn. The largest building of the three, the mule barn is one of a kind and allows visitors to walk through the middle, where farmers would typically feed their mules. While you can't enter where the mules would stay, you can still walk through the middle. In the end, all three of these buildings offer an amazing look into what some older farms consisted of.
