Asberry Davis

Asberry Davis was born in Hampton County, South Carolina, and eventually settled near the Congaree Swamp. Unable to find stable employment, Davis took up residence in an abandoned ice cream wagon located in a grove of trees bordered by a railroad track and a creek. Over time, his homestead became an amalgamation of scattered constructions, ad-hoc modes of transportation, old farm equipment, and forms hung from trees. He lived there until his death in 1999.
