I had no idea Illinois had a plantation. Thank you for the video
I very much appreciate the comment and the view! I didn't know about it either, so thanks to Michael Kleen for spreading the info. I was excited to finally get a look myself (at least from the air). Hopefully I'll be able to get permission to tour the place and do a more in-depth video on the location.
Slave houses all over the US your ancestors did to my ppl
@@keeshaingram4197 assuming who the ancestors of strangers youve never seen are... yikes
@@cgualandi30 yours if u want to be frank
@@cgualandi30 we didn't inslave ourselves
I grew up out in Hardin County, they use to have field trips to the mansion, it's a shame the state is just letting it rot.
Has anyone heard if the State of Illinoid is going to oprn the old bank in Old Shawnee Town? It's been closed down by the state, too. It's very sad that both places should be on the Historical sites as they are part of Illinois history
My ancestors on my Dad's side settled in White County. Been to both places before the state bought them.
I'm in total agreement that these state-owned places should be considered historical sites (and at least occasionally open to the public). I don't know about the bank in Old Shawnee. Hopefully they're at least being well cared for.
In fortunately, they are doing anything to keep them up as far as I know.
My uncle made it the old slave house museum
Whoa! So, he was responsible for acquiring the land for the state? Or he was involved in renovations to make it a museum? I'd love to hear more and also speak/email with him!
He made it the museum.he bought it from the crinshaws and him and my grandpa used as a family garden then he turned into the museum.
My grandpa slept in the same room as Abraham Lincoln who we are related to.
I went there for a tour in the 1960s. I was “clappped in chains”. (The guide- maybe your uncle - put chains and an iron shackle around my wrist). Scary
Awesome video.
Thanks a lot, bud!
It used to be open for tours back in the 90s.
My family took a tour of the house back in the 90's. The owner escorted us through the house and was so informative!! He said it was selling to the state and in danger of being closed. I wrote a letter to the governor then and explained the knowledge that is in that old house. However it closed anyway.
I'm so very glad we were able to tour that home with our curator. Just seeing what those poor souls went through gives one a newfound empathy.

Their is tail of a person that father children from the female slaves
There is a story about him. He did an interview and uf you can find it,it is worth reading. I believe he was called uncle buck. He died in 1945, from what I read about him.
I read about this in " Haunted Heartland" years ago. An awesome read by the way.
Been there as a kid, thanks to my mamaw
