My friend and guide Rebecca Paris Vinroot gave me a tour of the historic site and the enslaved cemetery. Washington, who was enslaved by the McEachern family, rests here beside his wife Rebecca. The site is making a conscious effort to serve as a space for learning and sharing a more comprehensive history. Daniel Purcell aka D.P.
