Our Tour Guide (with the

At the Yucca Building
The large overhangs were
built on the slave quarters to protect the brick from the sun therefore
it will be cooler
The upstairs door (above
our heads) doesn't have a staircase up to it, because taxes were much
higher with a staircase. They used a ladder instead.
The door behind Herman
is the same door we saw earlier. We are upstairs for more tour info
The paintings on the wall
are from Clementine
Hunter.
Cammie Henry owned the
Plantation at one time and she brought culture to the area by hosting
many artists (click to enlarge), sometimes for years
The tour guide is demonstrating
the paddle that is used for leveling the mattress. And, if that didn't
work, he has his left hand on a roller that hung above the bed that would
do the job.
