Description
Shacks like these are every where in rural Mississippi. This one caught my eye and still had furniture inside. You could almost smell the okra being cooked for dinner and could practically here the kids playing in the woods nearby.Related content

Great shot. Sadly many of the old farmhouses around Arkansas have been torn down, The owners did'nt want to pay taxes for improved property.

I imagine that particular one was inhabited up until the early 60s.
It was AMAZING to look inside.

Ancient, cheap stick furniture? Box springs? Mice living in the remains of the sofa?
