Stagville descendants to speak at Durham library

The descendants of a historic plantation will share their history during a panel discussion hosted by the Durham County Main Library on Saturday.

The event, “A Creative Discussion with Descendants of Stagville,” will take place from 10:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the library. Those interested in attending are required to register online.

The Stagville Historic Site, located about 10 miles north of downtown Durham, contains the remnants of one of the largest plantations of the pre-Civil War South. The site belonged to the Bennehan-Cameron family, which enslaved approximately 900 people across 30,000 acres of land.
