Coming soon:  Information about the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) grant that made possible the 2010 opening of "Plantation at the Crossroads":  Historic Hope Plantation (1803) is an architectural marvel and home to a renowned decorative arts collection. There is a need to interpret the history of Hope Plantation outside the manor house, including the lives of its enslaved African Americans and the Tuscarora Indians who inhabited neighboring lands until the early 19th century. This project will provide visitors, students, and teachers with new ways of understanding the complex landscape of the plantation through a permanent exhibit and educational resources. The project will research materials for interpreting life at Hope Plantation; install a permanent exhibit focusing on areas such as Tuscarora civilization, plantation agriculture, and African American life; and develop resources for teachers and students.
