content: The Barry Farm project was an attempt by the Bureau to enable freedmen to purchase land. The farm was located south of the Anacostia River and was purchased by trustees from funds supplied by the Bureau. The trustees were to sell the land in 1–acre lots to freedmen, who were to pay for it within 2 years.
