Fascinating family! A must visit to learn how this unique family overcame being enslaved, the civil war, reconstruction and a variety of other challenges faced by the black community. It was a unique view of the time period.

If you like historical sites I would recommend, I believe they offer tours twice a day.…

We came by as part of the city's Civil War geocaching tour. Really impressed with the beautiful site and would not have known about this if it weren't for geocaching.
