Meet the mothers and daughters—both free and enslaved—who lived and worked on the property over the past 200 years, through true stories that have been documented in letters and archaeological evidence. Get acquainted with the ladies of the house from Martha Wayles Jefferson, who, with her husband, Thomas Jefferson, inherited the plantation from her father in 1773, to Sally Watts, who became the matriarch of the house in the 1940s, to Cate and her daughter Hannah, who were enslaved at Poplar Forest. Women of Poplar Forest Talks are included with admission.
