Wades Green Plantation is our next stop for a 45 min guided tour. Records were not always accurate, however it was estimated that 1500 slaves harvested more than 700 acres of Cotton and Sisal for 30 years. Artifacts and buildings over 200 years old, still stand in their original location. The two hundred year old slave paintings are still visible on the walls. This guided tour will give you a detailed history of the owner Wade Stubbs, and the daily workings of the plantation. As well as stories passed down from generations of ancestors who grew up here.
