Stagville, Plantation and archaeological site in Durham County, North Carolina.
The 71-acre property contains original structures including the Bennehan House, built in 1787, and several two-story residences at Horton Grove from 1850.
From 1776 to 1865, the Bennehan-Cameron plantations encompassed 30,000 acres of land where 900 enslaved African Americans lived and worked by 1860.
Archaeological excavations near the slave quarters revealed personal objects such as pipes, buttons, and a cowrie shell, documenting the daily lives of enslaved individuals.
The Historic Stagville State Historic Site operates Tuesday through Saturday, offering guided tours and self-guided audio experiences of the preserved buildings.
The Horton Grove area contains the only remaining two-story slave residences in North Carolina, providing direct evidence of plantation architecture and living conditions.
