Guided Tour: Historic Stagville
August 8
Pullen’s Anti-Racism Committee (ARC) has arranged a private, guided tour of Historic Stagville, and all are welcome to join us!
In 1860, Stagville was part of a vast plantation where the Bennehan and Cameron families enslaved over 900 people. Once one of the largest plantations in North Carolina, Historic Stagville now inspires new understanding about the history of slavery through preservation, interpretation, research, genealogy, and descendant engagement. The historic site preserves a Bennehan family house (c. 1799), the Horton Grove slave quarters (c. 1851), a barn (1860), and 165 acres of land. Today, Stagville's land and buildings reveal powerful stories of slavery and freedom. To learn more about Historic Stagville, click here.
