2010 Events
February 6, 13, 20,
and 27
Vance
Birthplace will commemorate
Black History Month
during the month of
February with a program
titled “Behind
the Big House.” The
free program will be
held Feb. 6 at 10 a.m.,
Feb. 13 at 11 a.m.,
Feb. 20 at 1 p.m., and
Feb. 27 at 2 p.m. Advanced
registration is required.
The planter’s
residence, often called
the “Big House” by
slaves, was the most
prominent building by
virtue of its size and
position. Beyond the
Big House there existed
another social domain,
one that is often overlooked.
This program will explore,
in detail, the slaves’ side
of the plantation. For
