INTD 121 - Everyday Life on Miss Indie’s Plantation

CR: 3
Using archival sources and archaeological features, we will research the life-histories of the 150+ individuals who lived at Sweet Briar between c. 1840-1900, including the antebellum, enslaved families, and the postbellum servants and employess of Indiana Fletcher Williams. We will spend class time exploring the artifacts, landscapes, and built environment of the 19th-century farm to understand the dynamics of socio-economic, religious, and environmental forces at Sweet Briar Plantation.
