Mule and Tenant Farmer Sculpture

Share Feedback

This sculpture in Perry pays tribute to the farmers and the farm animals upon whose backs much of the economy of the South, and Georgia in particular, was based for many years after the Civil War. The mule pulls a Boy Dixie brand plow. The artists, Don Haugen and Teena Stern, were inspired by Jimmy Carter's memoir An Hour before Daylight.
