Greg Wilson/Anderson Observer

A new exhibit focused on the history and evolution of the Future Farmers of America [FFA] opens at the Bart Garrison Agricultural Museum of South Carolina Saturday and will remain on display in the weeks ahead. 

The collection includes photographs and other memorabilia dedicated to the education of young farmers in Pendleton and all over the country. BGAMSC features the FFA’s milestone achievements such as its establishment in 1928, the integration of members of color in 1965, and the addition of women to the organization in 1969. 

Pendleton High School Educator and Club Advisor Blake Berry helped gather the decades of Future Palmetto Farmers and FFA awards, photos, and documents for the display.
