Other African-American Sites

Colonial Williamsburg has examined a series of African-American-associated sites in recent years, part of a committed program of investigation of the social history of all of the inhabitants of Williamsburg and the surrounding area, both white and black, rich and poor.

Four of these sites in particular have been important in the understanding of enslaved life in and around Williamsburg. Select from the links below to learn a little more about each of them.
