Slave Cabin Reconstruction

In Charleston, South Carolina, there's a project going on to rebuild several slave homes on a plantation. Here's a bit about the project from the website:

"Magnolia Plantations slave cabins have a unique history, in which they have been utilized from the time of antebellum slavery through emancipation and into the late 20th century by African-Americans, both enslaved and free.

While other historic sites have restored similar slave cabins and houses in the past for interpretation, no site has ever restored a series of structures that interpret African-American history from slavery to freedom and beyond. Magnolia is taking the unique and exciting opportunity to have this transitional interpretive area for African-American history that is unique and certain to garner national attention."
