UPDATE:
Due to unexpected circumstances, there will be no horse drawn wagon shuttle to Solitude.

The celebration at this early 19th century plantation home will coordinate with the other Preston home, Solitude, for shared experiences. Visitors will be encouraged to travel between the two Preston homes and enjoy learning the shared history along with partaking in the entertaining and educational experiences at each site.
