Emancipation Day Tours

  • When: Friday, May 19, 2023, 12:00 pm -  4:00 pm
  • Location: Goodwood Museum and Gardens, 1600 Miccosukee Road
  • Cost: Free tours

Join Goodwood Museum for a recognition of Emancipation Day and how the Emancipation Proclamation impacted the lives of those enslaved at the plantation.
The day will include tours of the Goodwood Main House (including the typically sealed-off basement), with a focus on four women who were enslaved at Goodwood.
Information about Goodwood's Memorial To The Enslaved will also be provided throughout the day; once completed, this permanent outdoor memorial will include the names of all known enslaved persons of Goodwood, and a site for sober contemplation and remembrance.
It will also be a site for meeting, teaching, community engagement, and healing.
Tours will conduct every hour from noon - 4 PM; there will be no cost for individuals to attend these tours.
Reservations are not required.
