North Durham Country Byway
Historic Stagville Plantation, NC

This plantation coupled with the nearby Fairntosh Plantation made up one of the largest estates in the south. Run by a single family, the plantation was established at the end of the 18th Century.

The Georgian-style house that was built for the family still stands there today as a testament to the prosperity of pre-Civil War times. The slave quarters stand as a monument to the long days of the slave. Today archaeologists and historians are also interested in the area because of the Native Americans that lived there before the land became a booming plantation.
