Schumann, Marguerite

Abstract:

Schumann describes the Horton Grove Quarters which stand on Stagville Plantation, a state-owned preservation teaching center north of Durham. The houses were built for plantation slaves. Only four structures remain after 125 years, and these are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. They were selected for this designation because they are among the few remaining slaves houses in North Carolina and because of the workmanship of the slaves who built them.

Abstract:

A 71-acre plot encompassing the Stagville Plantation was donated to the state by the Liggett Group, Inc. of Durham in 1976. Historic structures and Native American artifacts prompted the state to organize the Stagville Center for Preservation Technology funded by the same group. The 1799 plantation home was converted into classroom and laboratory space to service statewide historic preservation projects.
