 Welcome to Graham Farm and Nature Center located in Estill 4, Alabama. This 491 acre farm was in the Graham family for 81 years. Nita Graham Head was born on May 9, 1931 in the paint Rock River Valley in the mountains. During high school, she played basketball on an all-boys team. Her passion for sport and a little encouragement from the coach caused her to pursue a college degree in physical education. When she was teaching at Murray State, she helped start a tennis program with a $300 budget. Her passion for sport made her push her players more. I mean, everybody had to push themselves. I had to push them because I didn't have money either, but we got it done. On the farm, everyone in the family pitched in, including Nita. My dad told me if I wanted to make a little more money, I could raise my own cotton. I polled cotton, I picked cotton, I sold cotton, just did everything. chores at the farm kept Nita busy, but during breaks, she could be found reading in a tree, doing cartwheels, and being active. Well, my dad would sit on the porch, he would sit up there and throw the ball, and I caught it. And I threw it back, he caught it, and threw it back, and caught it. Before her passing in 2017, she joined the farm to the Alabama Cooperative Extension System to be used as a center for environmental education, animal sciences, and youth development.
