Our New Cabin Tour

If you have not been on our new tour "From slavery to Freedom" you should come. It tell of the history of African-Americans from slavery to the civil rights movement of the 60's. So much of the African American culture has been "absorbed" into our culture today, I found it fascinating to understand where my favorite foods and music actually came from. The AP has done a story on the project that has went nation-wide. So much of America's most beautiful gardens here at Magnolia can be traced to people that lived in these cabins over the decades. DJ and Preston give a great interpretation of the life of African Americans here at Magnolia, giving it a unique history. I am personally proud to play a small role in the preservation efforts here at Magnolia.
