Interpretive Tours

Included with admission are guided interpretive tours offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Guides present themed tours that include, but are not limited to, sea island cotton cultivation and processing, Gullah/Geechee culture, and organized and individual resistance to slavery and its legacy. Tours change as ongoing research reveals new information, and all daily tours focus on the transition to freedom for generations of African-American people who lived at the site during and after slavery.

In addition to daily tours, the first floor of the main house is available to tour. The main house experience is self-guided and there is a cultural history interpreter present to enhance your experience if you have questions or want to delve into the human and architectural history of the house.
