Going to the Source: How Historic Documents Reveal Life at Patrick Henry's Scotchtown and Red Hill
July 28, 2021 from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m.
 

Scotchtown and Red Hill are teaming up to take a closer look at primary source documentation from the time periods when Patrick Henry lived in these two locations. What stories do surviving documents tell us about enslaved men, women and children and Henry family members who lived at Scotchtown and Red Hill? Guest panelists from Patrick Henry’s Scotchtown include Erin Turbeville, Interpreter, and Lea Lane, Curator of Collections. Red Hill-Patrick Henry National Memorial is represented by Mark Couvillon, noted Henry historian and author, and Caitlin Curtis, Director of Education & Donor Systems.
