...which was one of the largest in the south. The Cameron from Cameron Indoor Stadium stems from this family. I haven't been there, but there is a section that is free to the public down the street called Horton's Grove. Horton's Grove is home to 4 two story dormitory style slave quarters. They were very unique for the 1850's. They were built by the Africans as well as a huge tobacco barn down the road from them. I visit there a couple of times a year. I pay homage for their struggle and survival. I look for the different energies around the plantation. I look at the different trees that seem to be a few centuries old and imagine how many enslaved African were whipped on those trunks. Yeah, I like going to plantations. It make the struggle of my ancestors seem more real and it humbles me.
