Pie Town and its people were photographed in 1940 by Russell Lee, a photographer for the Farm Security Administration of the U.S. government. Pie Town, Lee’s photos, and the local restaurant, the Daily Pie Cafe, were the subject of an article in Smithsonian magazine in February 2005.[5] In 2014, a feature-length documentary, Pie Lady of Pie Town, was produced.[6] CBS News Sunday Morning aired a story about the town in 2015.
