Title

Hunter Camp at Marquart Farms, Wyoming County

Description

Roadway leading to migrant camp run by Elijah Hunter on behalf of Marquart Farms. At least four large buildings--each of which had a shared kitchen and dormitory-style beds--suggests that the farm employed a large number of migrant farmworkers. Flatbed trucks likely transported workers to the fields; the old school bus may have brought them from Florida to New York.
