Photographer: Sandra Hughes
Taken: September 25, 2010
Caption: The Work Yard, The First Hermitage, Field Quarters.
Additional Description: The enslaved lived in three housing areas that we call the “work yard, the “First Hermitage,” and the “Field Quarter.” We don’t know if the Jackson has had names for these different spaces. The slave cabins were approximately twenty by twenty with a loft. Entire families lived in these one-room cabins and undoubtedly performed many of their own, as well as the Jacksons’, chores outdoors.
