Dr. Mark Leone, the guest curator for Seeking Liberty, will present a lecture at the Banneker-Douglass Museum this Saturday on Frederick Douglass and Wye House Farm. The University of Maryland conducts field schools at Wye House Farm every summer uncovering several artifacts including the remnants of a slave village.
Wye House Farm was one of the places Frederick Douglass was enslaved at during his lifetime. The plantation, owned by the Lloyd family, was established in the 1650s. The Lloyd Family was one of the largest slave holding families on the Eastern Shore.
Come to the Banneker-Douglass Museum this Saturday, February 14, 2009 at 2pm to learn more about the work happening at Wye House Farm and Frederick Douglass' connection to this Maryland location. The lecture is free of charge and registration is not required.
