About Historic Stagville:
Historic Stagville was once part of the vast Cameron plantations, with over 900 people of African descent enslaved in 1864. Today, Historic Stagville is a 165-acre State Historic Site that inspires new understanding about the history of slavery through preservation, interpretation, research, genealogy, and descendant engagement. During your visit, you can see original slave dwellings (1850s), a massive barn (1860), a Bennehan family house (1799), and outdoor archeological sites.
Historic Stagville's mission is to connect all people to the history and memory of slavery by sharing Stagville’s places and stories to inspire transformative learning, healing, and connection.
