“The Choice” will take place at Sotterley Plantation on Saturday, June 7th,

The war with the British brought
hardship to the plantation but a chance at freedom for the enslaved. At this
living history presentation you will meet the people who lived and labored at
Sotterley during the summer of 1814.
Join us and be a part of the drama as Sotterley’s enslaved must make a
difficult and daring choice. Do they escape or do they stay?
What would you
decide?
