A Cleared Path: Image 1 of 16

Along with the mansion at Poplar Hill on His Lordship's Kindness, a number of the original outbuildings still exist, among them are the smokehouse, the dairy, slaves infirmary, and dovecote. There is a visual path that leads from the old kitchen wing of the mansion past these outbuildings to a narrow dirt lane that leads to the site of the slave's quarters. The original buildings no longer exist. With the help of volunteers, students, and others, the Foundation began the work of clearing the path. The site is an area that has remained undisturbed.
