Rosa Parks was born Rosa Louise McCauley on February 4, 1913, in Tuskegee to Leona, a school teacher, and James McCauley, a skilled carpenter and stonemason. Shortly after her birth, her family moved into this house in Abbeville situated on a 260-acre farm owned by her grandparents, Anderson and Louisa McCauley. Her father would go on to design and construct the Henry County Training School for black students in 1914.
