Frogmore’s “Christmas on the Plantation”

“Christmas on the Plantation” features live vocalists performing parlor music and songs from the quarters that are intertwined with narration detailing the holiday season via the words of former slaves and mistresses. Their testimonies give visitors an accurate picture of a typical plantation Christmas as well as “surprises” about the origins of the music and lifestyle on a cotton plantation.

Events triggering changes on plantations and ultimately freedom with the 13th amendment assist visitors in understanding the transition from slavery into sharecropping. The musical conclusion is especially heartwarming.

Guests are seated in a rare 1800’s plantation church with original handmade pews for the musical presentation and then take a guided tour the authentically decorated quarters. An optional bonus would be a tour of the National Register steam engine cotton gin and computerized modern cotton gin.
