Yes, we give all the factual information we have regarding Gamble’s enslaved people. The unfortunate part is there is very little information about them. When Gamble lost the land and moved back to the Tallahassee area, all of his belongings were stored in a barn that burned down just two days after. This why all of the home’s furnishing are just representative of the time period. We do have a list of names of the slaves from the foreclosure from the bank and it is on display in the museum. During the tour they are discussed in nearly every room of the tour and during the introduction on the porch. We also have plan to build a display that discusses what their living conditions might have looked like by showing an example of what some other plantations had.
I recall that the tour emphasizes on the three main figures in the plantation's history: Gamble, Benjamin, and Patten. As well as the construction of the house, failed sugarcane harvests, and basically the daily life in general on the property. Slaves were present on the plantation but were taken to New Orleans as payment to the govt when Gamble went bust and headed back to Tallahassee. (These are my recollections from the tour, hopefully it's accurate.)
It is mostly about the owners. However It was very informative. The tour guide was willing to answer any questions we had as we did have some questions about the slaves.
Information was mostly centered on the owners. Not too much on the slaves.
Once a year they have a great day of touring
