Tourist Attraction - Chasley, Monroe County, Alabama
Summary
Built with slave labor and finished by Arthur Foster, Jr., and George Washington Foster, sons of the original owner. The late Dr. Rutherford (the great-great-grandson of the original owner) painstakingly restored his family home. The original lands, several thousand acres, extended 2 miles to the Alabama River. Cotton, the main crop, was produced by around 100 slaves. Chasley Farms is now the property of Dr. and Mrs. Charles L. Rutherford, Jr., of Mobile, whose grandchildren are the ninth generation in the house's history.
