L'Hermitage Slave Village Archeological Site
L'Hermitage Slave Village Archeological Site, Archaeological site of former plantation in Frederick County, Maryland, US.
The L'Hermitage Slave Village contains remnants of six residential structures where ninety enslaved individuals lived during the late 1700s and early 1800s.
The Vincendière family established L'Hermitage in 1793 after fleeing from Saint-Domingue, bringing twelve enslaved people with them to Maryland against legal limitations.
Archaeological excavations revealed over 5,000 ceramic pieces, coins, and personal items that document the daily lives of enslaved individuals at L'Hermitage.
The site exists within Monocacy National Battlefield boundaries and features interpretive displays explaining the archaeological discoveries and historical context.
Court records from 1796 to 1801 document multiple cases of severe mistreatment against enslaved people at L'Hermitage, making it notable for its documented brutality.
