Slave Quarters

These two log cabins once stood on the Quarter Place and were believed to have been built in the 1850s. Enslaved people lived in this area at Red Hill from the eighteenth century through the mid-nineteenth century. Following the abolition of slavery in 1865, sharecroppers and domestic servants lived at the Quarter Place throughout the remainder of the nineteenth century. These cabins were later demolished as part of the principal restoration of Red Hill, but the foundations are still visible along the Quarter Place today.
