Stagville Historic Site Tour: Understanding the Lives and Work of Enslaved People

Join us for a tour of Historic Stagville, a state historic site in northern Durham County that includes remnants of one of the largest plantations in North Carolina. The Bennehan-Cameron family owned approximately 30,000 acres of land and enslaved about 900 people on this property. Stagville protects a fraction of the land from that plantation, including original housing for enslaved people (1851), a massive barn (1860), and a Bennehan family house (1787-1799). Stagville is dedicated to teaching about the lives and work of enslaved people on the plantation.

Don’t miss this opportunity to join Stagville staff, RCWMS folk, and other community members in learning more about Historic Stagville. The tour will begin at 1:00. Please allow sufficient time for the drive there.

Cost: $10/person. Proceeds to support Historic Stagville. Additional donations to Stagville are welcome!
