Holiday Traditions and Experiences of the Enslaved Community

The Davenport House Museum will present "Holiday Traditions and Experiences of the Enslaved Community," in partnership with Gullah-Geechee Master Storyteller Patt Gunn and the Saltwata Players on Friday, Dec. 26, and Saturday, Dec. 27, at 1 p.m., 2:30 p.m., 4 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.

Through engaging and immersive interpretation, guests will explore holiday traditions of the enslaved through song, dance and spirituality.

Between 1812 and 1828, there were as many as 13 enslaved persons who occupied and held a range of responsibilities at the Davenport House on Columbia Square. These thought-provoking tours are designed to help local residents and visitors understand the historic experiences of enslaved workers who resided in the Federal-style home during the holiday season.
