The photographs of the Farm Service Administration – Office of War Information were produced from 1935-1944. The federal government employed photographers to document the United States. The initial focus of the photographs was to document loans made by the Resettlement Administration.

The next focus of the project was to document the sharecropper experience in the South and farm workers in the Midwest. Marion Post Wolcott was one of the photographers. She and Jack Delano documented Greene County, Georgia. One of Wolcott’s photos was of a store on a dirt road in Mosquito Crossing, Georgia. While many places documented in Greene County have been demolished or lost to history, the Mosquito Crossing store still stands today.
