Pursuit of Freedom Focused Tours @ Historic Sotterley

In honor of International Underground Railroad Month, Historic Sotterley is offering tours two days of tours with a special focus on The Pursuit of Freedom at Historic Sotterley, and will cover how struggles continued after the Civil War. Tours will be offered Friday through Saturday at 10:30, 11:30, 1:00, 2:00, and 3:00 and on Sunday at Noon, 1:00, 2:00, and 3:00.

Historic Sotterley’s guided tours allow visitors an intimate perspective of the lives and cultures of those that owned, lived, and worked at Historic Sotterley, enslaved or free, over three centuries of American history. The tour is on the ground floor spaces of our historic Manor House and Slave Dwelling and is approximately 45-60 minutes in length. The 18th Century Manor House doorways may not accommodate all wheelchairs or walkers in some rooms of the house, and reaching the Slave Dwelling requires traveling down an uneven dirt road. Please call in advance for full access details.
