Join us at the President James K. Polk State Historic Site for the Slave Dwelling Project Weekend led by Mr. Joseph McGill, Founder and Executive Director of the Slave Dwelling Project. On April 29, 2022, visit us 8pm - 10pm for a conversation about how to discuss the institution of slavery at historic site around a campfire in “The Stories We Tell: Fireside Conversation.” Spaces are limited, so sign up ahead of time at jameskpolk.net/events.html. On April 30, 2022, join us for a whole day of living history to learn about the lives of the enslaved in “Inalienable Rights: Living History Through the Eyes of the Enslaved.” Hear from first-person interpreters, watch blacksmith and masonry demonstrations, and learn about the people who were enslaved on the Polk farm.
