Description
Nottoway Plantation also known as Nottoway Resort, and Nottoway Plantation House built by John Hampden Randolph is often praised for its stunning architecture and grandeur—but behind its beauty lies a much darker truth. Built in 1859 by over 150 enslaved men, women, and children, Nottoway is America’s largest remaining antebellum mansion, and a symbol of the brutal system that created it.
In this documentary, we uncover the forgotten stories of the enslaved, explore what life was really like behind the mansion’s white columns, and ask the hard questions: How should we remember places built on human suffering? And are we doing enough to honor those who were forced to build them?
