Horton Grove, Historical plantation museum near Durham, North Carolina.
The Horton Grove site contains four two-story residences from the 1850s, constructed with brick chimneys and raised stone foundations.
The structures were part of the Bennehan-Cameron plantation complex, which encompassed 30,000 acres and housed 900 enslaved individuals by 1860.
Archaeological excavations at Horton Grove uncovered evidence of African traditions, including divining rods and communal cooking practices among enslaved residents.
Visitors can explore the museum grounds and structures at no cost as part of the Stagville State Historic Site north of Durham.
The buildings represent the only remaining two-story residences constructed for enslaved workers in North Carolina, featuring an unusual four-room layout per floor.
