The 4-H Rural Life Center is an incredible part of Halifax County’s history. This facility preserves the original smokehouse, barn, chicken coop, cannery, washroom, water pump house, and dairy barn. To top it off, there is even an antique farm equipment museum and an old saw mill built in 1929. 

The 4-H Center also houses the Allen Grove Rosenwald School. This school was used to educate minorities from the 1920s to the 1950s and today is a lasting reminder of the importance of education. 

The 4-H Rural Life Center is a vast facility, spanning over 345 acres and bordered by Little Quankey Creek. This picturesque site is a must-see for anyone interested in learning more about Halifax County’s history and rural life.

I brought my daughter to this place's Harvest Days celebration. They feature a full-sized basketball court with six goals and an extremely excellent playground. A space for adult exercise is also available. nonetheless, it wasn't spectacular.
