The tabby slave cabins at Gascoigne Bluff will be open to the public for guided educational tours by the Cassina Garden Club docents between 10:00 a.m. and noon on Saturday, February 2nd and on the first and third Saturdays of the month from February through May. The cabins were built by slaves in the early 1800s and used by house slaves who lived and worked on Hamilton Plantation. In 1932, Cassina Garden Club began using the slave cabins as a meeting place, and in 1950 the county deeded the property and cabins to them. The club’s mission has been to restore and preserve the integrity of the slave cabins. In 1988, the historic property was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Cassina welcomes requests for private tours. A $3.00 donation per adult is suggested. A short tutorial video welcomes you to this historic location. For more information visit cassinagardenclub.org.
