It was formerly a sweet potato and peanut plantation owned by the Foy family for six generations from 1795 to 1971, producing peanuts from the agricultural skills of the Gullah Geechee people, shipped as far north as New York City.Today, Poplar Grove achieves its mission by: 1) reflecting upon the practices of a self-sustaining farm, slavery, tenant farming, legislation, technology, and the heritage arts2) promoting of the values and traditions of local communities and cultural landscapes as it reflects past, present and future human activity3) initiating meaningful dialogue that builds upon the values of respect, empathy, cultural diversity, multiple perspectives, and democratic principles4) sharing the significance and spirit of place as a shared resource by preserving the natural habitat and architectural harmony indigenous to the lower Cape Fear region.The Foundation achieved its exempt purpose in the past fiscal year by operating the historic manor house museum complex, conducting tours and holding events that create awareness of the region's history and allow Poplar Grove to be a venue for its educational, conservational and preservational efforts. The Poplar Grove Plantation venue is used for community events, a farmer's market, a farm animal stables and educational events. 319028 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 1 0 true 4 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 5 3 true false false false false false false true false false false false false false false true true false NC X X X Caroline Lewis 9103985673 10200 US Highway 17 N Wilmington NC 284116854 Caroline Lewis Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 50396 0 0 Rosalie Calarco President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Felicia Greene VP/Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Christina Fennell Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lucy Purgason Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Gail Killman Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 50396 0 false false false 0 95476 95476 Facility Rentals 21446 21446 Farmers Market 12073 12073 Manor House Tours 8389 8389 Other 127 127 42035 0 0 0 0 0 315915 74686 241229 241229 0 0 0 378740 42035 241229 0 0 0 0 50396 50396 0 102624 102624 0 0 18910 12682 6228 0 0 1120 1120 0 0 0 3484 3484 4661 4661 0 683 683 0 134554 134554 0 0 0 0 0 0 18730 18730 General Operations 46954 46954 Bank & Credit Card Processing 4587 4587 0 386703 319028 58427 9248 119158 111195 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 119158 111195 0 0 X 119158 111195 119158 111195 119158 111195 -7963 X false false false X 143913 47248 76308 48310 95476 411255 210976 279294 382683 352411 357950 1583314 0 0 0 354889 326542 458991 400721 453426 1994569 74197 25212 56098 36000 72109 263616 0 74197 25212 56098 36000 72109 263616 1730953 0 0 0 0 354889 326542 458991 400721 453426 1994569 0.86780 0.85240 0.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED X X X X X X X false NC Christmas 232899 232899 61719 Herb Fair 62534 62534 2159 1 16292 16292 9683 311725 311725 73561 73561 238164 Caroline Lewis Family 50396 W2 Wages false Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2 The executive director and the president and another board member are related to each other.
