Behind the Scenes at Hampton Series:
Hampton’s Slave Quarters-The stone slave quarters at Hampton and the buildings surround them tell stories of labor, love and the difficult decisions facing more than 500 enslaved men, women, and children.
The three videos in the Behind the Scenes series were created for Baltimore City Public Schools at the very beginning of the pandemic shutdown last spring. The videos were also made available to the public through Baltimore National Heritage Area and University of Maryland, Baltimore County, and used in curriculum at University of Maryland, College Park. The videos are now part of our new digital library for teachers and students who participate in virtual field trips with rangers zooming in from the park. More videos from the digital library, including our new Eyes on Artifacts series, continue to be created and will be posted to our YouTube channel.
