description

Summary

Significance: Kelley was the founder of the National Grange, a movement which sought political solutions to the problems of the farmer. This house served as headquarters, 1868-70. In 1866 Kelley, a Dept. of Agriculture employee, was asked by Pres. Andrew Jackson to survey the agricultural conditions of the devastated south. As a result of this experience, the idea of a national farmers organization was conceived. He returned to Minnesota in 1868 and proceeded to organize the National Grange. He was National Secretary for them until 1878.

This is another AI-assisted collection, this time it features 20K+ images of manors. A manor is a large country house with lands, the principal house of a landed (country) estate. This collection took about 15 minutes to make, including adding about 18,000 relevant images as "manors" and removing portraits of people with "Manor" last names. Of course, image recognition was already done before and that process required much much longer time and machine resources. Please contact us if you need large image sets or need to tag your own large collections using our neural networks.
