This 12 x 16 one-room log dwelling was built for the Boyette’s slaves and was made from pine timber from the farm with full-dovetailed notches and dowels. The unique chimney is made entirely of heart-of-pine sticks and daubed with clay base mortar and is the only structures of its kind still standing in NC. \nIn 1890-1910 the building was used as a neighborhood school. In 1979\, the building was restored by the Boyette Family and was placed on the national Register of Historical Places. The Boyette Slave House is a rare example of a type of structure and construction method which originated in medieval building traditions and since the end of slavery has nearly disappeared from the architectural history of NC. \n\n← Back Thank you for your response. ✨\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\nName(required)\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\nEmail(required)\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\nWhich events would you like to participate in?(required)\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\nHow did you hear of the Slave Dwelling Project?\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\nWould you like to receive the SDP newsletter?\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n Submit \n \n \n \nΔ URL:https://slavedwellingproject.org/event/boyette-slave-and-schoolhouse-johnson-county-heritage-center/ LOCATION:Boyette Slave and Schoolhouse / Johnson County Heritage Center\, NC-222 & Glendale Rd\, Kenly\, NC\, 27542 CATEGORIES:Campfire Conversation,Lecture,Sleepover ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://slavedwellingproject.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/boyetteevents.png ORGANIZER;CN="Slave Dwelling Project":MAILTO:slavedwellingproject@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20230922 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20230925 DTSTAMP:20260421T160741 CREATED:20230109T170415Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230919T101551Z UID:38244-1695340800-1695599999@slavedwellingproject.org SUMMARY:Relmagine Lefferts\, Prospect Park\, Brooklyn\, NY DESCRIPTION:Book signing and sleepover at Relmagine Lefferts\, Prospect Park\, Brooklyn\, NY \nProspect Park Alliance has launched ReImagine Lefferts\, an initiative to re-envision the mission and programming of the Lefferts Historic House museum to recognize its role as a site of slavery\, and tell the stories—in innovative\, inclusive and forward-thinking ways—of the enslaved Africans who lived and worked on the Lefferts farm\, and the Indigenous people of the Lenapehoking whose unceded ancestral lands the farm rested upon. \nThe Alliance seeks to engage the public in a thoughtful dialogue about the legacy of slavery and the exploitation of marginalized communities\, as well as conduct scholarly research into the people who lived and worked the land. The goal is to create programs and exhibits that bring together people of all ages and backgrounds around challenging issues of history and identity. \nBy centering the narratives at the museum on those that are underrepresented in the telling of American history\, we hope that the visitor experience will become even more reflective of the Brooklyn community\, providing a safe space for dialogue about our collective past and contemporary times. With ReImagine Lefferts\, the Alliance seeks to address the legacy of slavery and oppression in New York\, while also highlighting stories of triumph\, resilience\, and joy within underrepresented communities. \nTo accomplish this work\, the Alliance is engaging historians\, scholars and universities to provide robust research and new source material for educational programming; collaborating with museum professionals\, cultural organizations and artists to create content that will support the museum’s new focus; and deepening our relationship with the communities near Lefferts through active conversation and outreach. \n\n← Back Thank you for your response. ✨\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\nName(required)\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\nEmail(required)\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\nWhich events would you like to Participate in?(required)\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\nHow did you hear of the Slave Dwelling Project?\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n \nWould you like to receive the SDP Newsletter?\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n Submit \n \n \n \nΔ \n \n  URL:https://slavedwellingproject.org/event/relmagine-lefferts-prospect-park-brooklyn-ny/ CATEGORIES:Book Signing,Campfire Conversation,Sleepover ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://slavedwellingproject.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/relferts.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Slave Dwelling Project":MAILTO:slavedwellingproject@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20230916 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20230917 DTSTAMP:20260421T160741 CREATED:20230109T170044Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230806T104832Z UID:38239-1694822400-1694908799@slavedwellingproject.org SUMMARY:Surratt House Museum\, Prince George’s County\, MD DESCRIPTION:Please join Joseph McGill for a book signing and sleepover at the Surratt House Museum\, Prince George’s County\, MD \nThe historic Surratt House and Tavern\, constructed in 1852\, is the oldest building in Clinton\, Maryland.

Mitchelville became a vibrant\, self-governed community\, both defined and accentuated by the customs and cultures of native islanders\, the Gullahs\, and those brought to America from a multitude of countries and islands. At its height\, Mitchelville boasted 1\,500 to 3\,000 residents and demonstrated freedom and opportunity for African Americans diverse in backgrounds and origins. \n\n← Back Thank you for your response. ✨\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\nName(required)\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\nEmail(required)\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\nWhich Events would you like to participate in?(required)\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\nHow did you hear of the Slave Dwelling Project?\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\nWould you like to receive the SDP Newsletter?\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n Submit \n \n \n \nΔ \n \n URL:https://slavedwellingproject.org/event/juneteenth-mitchellville-hilton-head-island-sc/ LOCATION:Mitchelville\, 40 Harriet Tubman Way\, Hilton Head\, South Carolina\, 29926 CATEGORIES:Book Signing,Campfire Conversation,Sleepover ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://slavedwellingproject.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/mitchelvilleevents.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Slave Dwelling Project":MAILTO:slavedwellingproject@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230613T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230613T190000 DTSTAMP:20260421T160741 CREATED:20230530T094854Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230530T094854Z UID:38544-1686679200-1686682800@slavedwellingproject.org SUMMARY:Charleston Library Society Speaker Series: Sleeping with the Ancestors DESCRIPTION:Joseph M. McGill\, Jr.\, started his Slave Dwelling Project in 2010 to draw attention to the oft-obscured and distorted experiences of formerly enslaved people. Since then\, he has hosted overnight stays in what were once slave quarters on properties throughout the South\, North\, and West. \nDuring this upcoming discussion\, Mr. McGill will discuss his recent book on the subject\, Sleeping with the Ancestors\, along with his co-author\, the journalist Herb Frazier. \nJoin us on June 13\, at 6:00PM Tickets are $10 for members\, $15 for guests. \nTo RSVP\, click here or call 843-579-9922\, to secure your seat. \nAbout the Book: \nIn this enlightening personal account\, one man tells the story of his groundbreaking project to sleep overnight in former slave dwellings that still stand across the country—revealing the fascinating history behind these sites and shedding light on larger issues of race in America. \nJoseph McGill Jr.\, a historic preservationist and Civil War reenactor\, founded the Slave Dwelling Project in 2010 based on an idea that was sparked and first developed in 1999. Since founding the project\, McGill has been touring the country\, spending the night in former slave dwellings—throughout the South\, but also the North and the West\, where people are often surprised to learn that such structures exist. Events and gatherings are arranged around these overnight stays\, and it provides a unique way to understand the often otherwise obscured and distorted history of slavery. The project has inspired difficult conversations about race in communities from South Carolina to Alabama to Texas to Minnesota to New York\, and all over the United States. \nSleeping with the Ancestors focuses on all of the key sites McGill has visited in his ongoing project and digs deeper into the actual history of each location\, using McGill’s own experience and conversations with the community to enhance those original stories. Altogether\, McGill and coauthor Herb Frazier give readers an important unexpected emersion into the history of slavery\, and especially the obscured and ignored aspects of that history.
