IGBO VILLAGE IN AMERICA This Igbo village is not located in Nigeria! It is in Staunton, Virginia of all places!! The village made of mud huts, is located at the Frontier Culture Museum in Staunton. Members of the Nwannedinamba Young Adult Branch helped build the village 2 years ago. It has since become a center of attraction where tourists come to know more about the Igbo people. The pictures and story were shared with Info Nollywood by Christopher Okonkwo who attended an event at the Igbo villlage.

[size=18pt]Visit to Nigeria Reveals Roots of African American Home[/size]  (In the city of Abiriba in Abia State, Nigeria.) Our small community of Glade Hill in Franklin County is an agricultural region in the southern part of the state. Tobacco was once the king crop. The county earned its reputation during prohibition as the moonshine capital of the United States. We also claim Booker T. Washington, the great educator, as one of our own. Our hand-hewn log home was built in 1821 by slaves who brought building techniques with them from West Africa. Daubing, a process utilizing natural earth as the main source for chinking between logs, was used. Family friends from present-day Nigeria verified the African roots of construction techniques such as this during a recent visit to Glade Hill. Based on my 2009 visit to Igboland, I can also attest to the style’s authenticity.
