Black History at the Hancock-Clarke House

April 21 @ 11:00 am - 3:00 pm

Association of Black Citizens of Lexington Logo

The Hancock-Clarke House holds a unique role as the only site of enslavement open to the public in Lexington. Inside the museum, learn about Jack and Dinah, two individuals enslaved by the Hancock family. Outside, in partnership with the Association of Black Citizens of Lexington, meet local researchers who are working to put Lexington’s 18th century Black history on the map. Learn more about this vibrant and interconnected community, from the Burdoos who lived free in town in the 17th century, to the Chessors who helped the Clarke family spin flax, to the Barbodoeses, who became abolitionists.
