In 1900, Robert E. and Susan G. Campbell built a house in Whitfield, a small farming community in southern Sumter County. This August, nearly 110 years later, the house was moved to the UWA campus, where it will become part of the
Black Belt Garden and renamed the Campbell Environmental Education Center.
