TALK: Textiles & Slavery in the Mid-Atlantic

Tuesday, September 30th, 2025 12:30 pm
The Hays-Heighe House at Harford Community College

Bel Air, MD 21015
4434122539


Presented by: Julie Mancine, HHH Coordinator & Exhibit Curator

Learn about the fabric-making work of enslaved men, women, and children. From planting and harvesting to spinning, weaving, sewing, and mending, daily life at the Hays-Heighe House in the 19th century depended on the forced labor of those the Hays family enslaved—work that sustained the household, the fields, and likely the factory as well.

Free event. Limited seating.
