During its years as a private residence, enslaved women made up a significant portion of the sites residents, but left little to no records behind. Their white owners were predominantly women who had few rights of their own, but directed daily operations on the property. Years later the site became home to a women’s college that embraced new found roles and responsibilities for women, and the societal expectations put upon them. Join us virtually to learn more about the complicated lives of women associated with Hampton-Preston Mansion throughout the site’s history.
