Hampton National Historic Site preserves what remains of a once 25,000-acre enslavement plantation. For hundreds of years, enslaved people, indentured servants, tenant farmers, paid laborers, and the Ridgely family all made their own contributions to Hampton, creating a space where cruelty and decadence collide to provide a complex history of the United States.
On June 26, Hampton National Historic Site will host a public meeting to seek community input regarding the forthcoming Great American Outdoors Act (GAOA) Legacy Restoration Fund-supported restoration projects in the park. The meeting will take place in the Orangery at Hampton National Historic Site from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Hampton National Historic Site will begin to rehabilitate many of its significant historic structures with funding from the Great American Outdoors Act (GAOA) Legacy Restoration Fund.
