June 19, 2025. 10:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.
Upon visiting Chippokes you'll find many historic buildings that are direct links to the property's past as a former plantation and active farm site.
Beyond these fields and buildings, there are important narratives of the men, women, and children who worked and lived on property over the years as Chippokes has continuously evolved.
Join a ranger as we walk along the historic Quarter Lane, from the River House to the Jones - Stewart Mansion, to share the history of both enslaved and tenant farmer families of Chippokes.
Meet at the Farm & Forestry Museum parking lot.
