Shepard Farm Structures

Описание: Shepard Farm was originally part of the plantation's 110,000 acres of land before it passed to Ann Daves Collins and her husband William Biddle Shepard. Although enslaved people cleared some of the farm and planted crops over the years, it appears that few if any buildings existed on the property before the Civil War. Agricultural operations later expanded into the 20th century. If you have any questions about this video, please comment below.

Somerset Place, once one of the largest plantations in antebellum North Carolina and now a representative state historic site, is open to the public Tuesday - Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. It is our aim to offer visitors a comprehensive social history exploring the family life of all former plantation residents: the enslaved community, plantation owners, and hired white and Black employees.

Directions are located in the "About" section of our channel. Check out our website and social media accounts below to find out more information about the site, tours, educational programming, and upcoming events.
