Echoes of the Enslaved 2021: The Pursuit of Liberty Panel Discussion, Conversation Circles, and Optional Overnight Camping


  • Marietta House Museum 5626 Bell Station Rd. Glenn Dale, MD 20769 (map)

Marietta House Museum was once a site where enslaved families lived and labored. Through archeology, we are preserving their stories through what they have left behind. We invite you to join us for our annual event, Echoes of the Enslaved. Let’s honor the stories of those who once spent their lives here and share our own. 

Participate with us virtually or in-person as we partner with The Slave Dwelling Project to engage in these timely conversations about the legacies of slavery, the endless pursuit of civil rights, and the landscapes that are perpetually changing around us.

  • 6 pm - In-person & Live-Streamed Panel Discussion featuring Joe McGill, founder, and director of The Slave Dwelling Project

  • 7:30 pm - In-person Conversation Circles and Optional Overnight Campout Experience: We invite you to bring your outdoor gear and spend the night under the same sky where many ancestors once did.
