Tennessee Slave Housing Survey The Tennessee Slave Housing Survey, sponsored by the Center for Historic Preservation with additional grants from the Tennessee Historical Commission and the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts (MESDA) at Old Salem in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, was conducted by Michael Strutt, an archaeologist and D.A. student at MTSU, from 2001-2002. The purpose of the survey is to locate and document the architectural heritage of African-American culture during the period of slavery in Tennessee. This includes separate houses, rooms above kitchens or other outbuildings, garret rooms, and basement spaces where slaves lived. A database includes locations and types of slave living spaces across the state. Photographs, slides, digital images, and measured drawings for each site are archived at the Center for Historic Preservation, the Tennessee Historical Commission, and at MESDA. For more
