I'm under the impression that it's a plantation where slaves were and are buried. Also that the mansion is the "BIG HOUSE " where the slave owners lived.. That houses are built on slave burial grounds. So who's history is it....? Historical Site

Great comment. It's extremely important to be aware of the history of places built on the backs of underrepresented and underreported peoples. There is a walking tour of the house with the "house" (white) history, and another for the "other" (non-white) history. They do not make any effort to pretend that the slave Masters and owners were kind of forgiving. They do their best to educate the audience on the importance of not covering up history.

Agreed, from what I saw when I was there, it was very clear what was going on there.
