Igbo Farm Village Dedication by EzeUche2(m): 3:08am On Feb 18, 2011
On September 18, 2010, the Frontier Museum of Virginia formally opened a-first-of-its-kind Igbo Farm Village in Staunton Virginia. The village was modeled after a traditional Igbo village compound in the 1700 and 1800 period.

Beaurrrrriful.
Re: Igbo Farm Village Dedication by tpia5: 12:19am On Aug 01, 2011
there's quite a lot of land surrounding it.

does anyone know what's being planned for that space?

just curious.
Re: Igbo Farm Village Dedication by ezeagu(m): 12:30am On Aug 01, 2011
Man of the buildings there have a lot of space around them, maybe there will be a farm.
Re: Igbo Farm Village Dedication by tpia5: 12:35am On Aug 01, 2011
i'm wondering if the space is a world cultural center or something like that?

where did the funding come from?
Re: Igbo Farm Village Dedication by ezeagu(m): 12:50am On Aug 01, 2011
The village was built for the representation of the African slaves who who were forced over to colonial America. Before the village, the Frontier Cultural Museum only had traditional architecture from European countries that were a source of immigrants for Colonial America. An Igbo village was chosen to be built after it was found that they were the biggest African ethnic group shipped to Colonial Virginia (where the museum is located). The village was built with help from Igbo communities who provided the plan for the architecture and also the artefacts brought from Nigeria.

oh, that's interesting.

well, good luck and congrats.

the actual museum is called Frontier Culture Museum and here's the website:

http://frontiermuseum.org/index.html

however, some of the info isnt too accurate because i wonder why they'd mention banjo playing, okro and black eyed peas as african contributions to america, yet ignore the rice cultivating skills brought by these same africans.
Re: Igbo Farm Village Dedication by tpia5: 4:51pm On Aug 01, 2011
also, arent traditional african huts round instead of straight?

Maybe because rice was cultivated in the deeper south, I think Georgia, hence the Senegalese were taken there, and all the Igbo who wound up there were sold to Virginia.

I thought most of Southern Nigeria built their houses like modern bungalows only out of mud? Igbo houses were always rectangular.
Re: Igbo Farm Village Dedication by tpia5: 5:36pm On Aug 02, 2011
^^hmm. For that time period?

anyway, the structures would look more like this, imo [though i could be wrong]:

shrines and places of religious significance however, tended to be square i think.
Re: Igbo Farm Village Dedication by ezeagu(m): 6:04pm On Aug 02, 2011
That's a compound with long buildings which would have taken a much longer time for the museum to build.

This was the kind of simple building they built (under construction):

Example of a smaller house or room.
