Join us at Mulberry Hill where a ranger will discuss the importance of Juneteenth, one of many “freedom days” that began in Texas, now having gained popularity across the country today. A special program will discuss enslaved life at Mulberry Hill, with an examination of the institution during the wartime years. The program will cover what freedom looked like across the country and in Virginia, and how the former slaves of Mulberry Hill and the surrounding area maintained their newly found freedom.
