About this Event
Join Peerless Rockville for our Glenview Mansion Speaker Series with Montgomery Parks Senior Archaeologist Cassandra Michaud for this illustrated presentation on archaeology at Josiah Henson Park. This new museum is located on the site of the Riley plantation, where Henson and many others were enslaved in the early 19th century. It highlights Henson’s story, his relationship to the novel Uncle Tom’s Cabin, and slavery in Montgomery County.
This presentation will discuss the archaeological investigations that have taken place at the site since Parks’ acquisition in 2006 and how that work has informed its public interpretation and the Museum, as well as the significance of the site’s history today.
