1st Quarterly Meeting: Mulberry Row Virtual Tour


Location: McIntire Building, 200 Second Street NE

Date: Sunday, March 27th, 2pm

On Sunday, March 27th at 2pm, ACHS will be hosting its first annual meeting in the McIntire Room of the Jefferson Madison Regional Library. David Ronka and Aurelia Crawford of Thomas Jefferson's Monticello will be presenting a "virtual tour" of Mulberry Row.
From the 1770s until Jefferson's death in 1826, Mulberry Row was the center of plantation activity at Monticello. Mulberry Row was the site of Monticello's light manufacturing operations-- blacksmithing, weaving, nail making and the like-- performed by Thomas Jefferson's enslaved African American artisans and crafts people. Through slides and narration based on documented records, the tour evokes the Mulberry Row of 200 years ago and brings to life the enslaved community that lived and worked there.
