Speciality Museums
Forget about the fact that George Washington might have slept there or even its singularly exquisite architectural craftsmanship (unmatched at any other colonial-era home in New England). The star of this show is the story of people largely hidden from history: enslaved men and women. The guest experience is framed by the lives of those for whom these elegant spaces were ALSO slave quarters, comparing and contrasting the intertwined lives of the owners and the owned, and thereby revealing a gripping, untold story that will forever change the way you think about the colonial history of New England.
