Discovering the Secrets of an Abandoned Plantation with a Troubling History

176-Year-Old Cemetery Tells Stories From America’s Past

Preserving Black History on Instagram: "The Nottoway Plantation, the largest antebellum plantation house in America, has burned down. Built in 1859 by enslaved Black people in Louisiana for sugar plantation owner John Randolph, the plantation was later converted to a “resort” for weddings, events, and tours. The website for the resort lists the names of 11 of the TREES on the property but never mentions any of the 155 BLACK PEOPLE enslaved there. #nottowayplantation #nottowayresort #nottawayplan
