Through both periods of slavery and freedom, African-Americans persevered, laboring tirelessly to establish livelihoods for themselves and their families within the confines of Rose Hill Plantation. Join us for an immersive journey into the lives of enslaved and freed individuals through interactive activities such as cooking and brick-making demonstrations. Our lineup includes a Union Soldier, an esteemed antique collector, the head of the Gullah Geechee Nation, and a knowledgeable genealogist, among other well-respected participants.
