The Duke Homestead

 
The Duke Homestead is a historic site here in North Carolina. It is the home and farm of Washington Duke, where he first grew and processed tobacco. His sons later founded the largest tobacco company in the world.  It was really neat to learn all sorts of little facts about the tobacco industry - like, we can thank the tobacco industry for sports cards and Duke University.
