Mary Weeks' family home featuring over 17,000 documents, photographs, oral histories, archaeological artifacts
Here we explore the history of this place, before the Civil War, through the eyes of two women: Mary Weeks, who took over the sugarcane plantation after her husband's death, and Louisa Bryant, the enslaved housekeeper who managed the day-to-day life at Shadows. Delve into their lives and experiences at Shadows, which was built in 1834 as a family home, not a plantation. More than 17,000 documents, photographs, oral histories, archaeological artifacts and original furnishings shape the visitor experience.
