Public History: The site was originally recorded in 1992 by Texas Water Development Board archaeologists Hayden Whitsett and me during an archaeological survey of the wastewater facilities project proposed to be funded by the Boards ‘s Clean Water State Revolving Fund;

The Peterson family legacy revealed itself to me when the State of Texas commissioned me to be part of an excavation and investigative team to study Ned and Elizabeth Peterson’s farm site. The site is among the first land to be purchased by African Americans in Southern Brazos County in central Texas, about 100 miles northwest of Houston.
