Wakefield Plantation
This is the picture of the Wakefield Plantation that I took while participating in the 42nd Annual Audubon Pilgrimage Tour on March 15, 2013. The Wakefield was built by Lewis Stirling in 1834 and was the place where many of my Morgan, Weathers and Sterling ancestors were enslaved. The Wakefield is private and is only open to the public during the tour. The current owners allow the Stirling descendants to hold reunions at the plantation.
