This outdoor, open-air, event includes an emancipation-themed, self-guided tour of the farm and Slave Cemetery accessible by your phone through our QR portal. Scavenger hunts, farm animals, "safe" hands-on history and musical acts will help to round out the day. Fresh air, masks and social distancing protocols will be in place.
