Garden & Gun Features Durham's Historic Stagville

"This event had been Twitty’s brainchild for years: a benefit dinner at the remaining original slave quarters, known as Horton Grove, on one of the largest working plantations North Carolina had known: Stagville. Nine hundred enslaved men and women. Over thirty thousand acres. Controlled by one of the wealthiest families in pre–Civil War America."
