ADVANCE FOR SUNDAY NOV. 2 AND THEREAFTER - A Friday Sept. 5, 2014 photo shows the home Matt Gardner in Elkton, Tenn. Art professor Bernice Davidson is using her Heroes Project to tell the stories of Pulaski's unsung local figures. Among the heroes is Matt Gardner, a freed slave and prolific farmer. As the locals tell it, warning shots fired at the prominent black farmer's home forced him to keep to the backyard for the last several decades of his life. His home has been closed to tourists for a year and is awaiting repairs. (AP Photo/The Tennessean, George Walker IV) NO SALES
