This included publishing newspapers for farmers, creating farmers' educational institutions, and pushing for a revolutionary new approach to politics. Polk would change the lives of farmers and the history of America forever. On this tour of his house in Raleigh, explore the history and impact of Col. Leonidas L. Polk in his house, built in 1891.
