*$25 fee covers dinner Saturday night and breakfast Sunday morning  

All are invited to spend the night at Stenton to experience first-hand the lives of enslaved laborers.  We will occupy spaces where they worked, lived, and slept.  Before turning in, Joe McGill will lead participants in candid conversation that redresses our reading of historic places to consider spaces that document slavery, including spaces within the big house.  Please bring a sleeping bag or blanket; be prepared to feel the wood floor beneath you and to quiet your mind amid the unfamiliar sounds and light (or lack thereof) in a historic building. Toilets, sinks, and running water available in an adjacent building.
