Redcliffe Plantation, completed in 1859, was once the home of James Henry Hammond, three generations of his descendants, and numerous African-American families like the Henleys, Goodwins, and Wigfalls who worked at the site as enslaved laborers and later as free men and women. Hammond meticulously documented the activities of the plantation, planting, harvesting, births, deaths, and the comings and goings on the plantation.
The remaining slave quarters were renovated in the 1930s. Inside the house, stories and pictures of enslaved families are displayed.
