Equen Plantation at Sundown

Equen Plantation lies on a lonely stretch of road between Greenwood and Clarksdale, Mississippi. Like many plantations in the Mississippi Delta, Equen was home to a number of sharecroppers through the 1940's and possibly later as well. A large farm of several thousand acres, the land that makes up Equen was originally part of Tallahatchie County. In the 1870's it became part of Sunflower County, and today it is part of Leflore County. Sunsets on the Delta make beautiful photographs.
