“400-acre national historic landmark located outside leesburg, va. Members of the public. We enabled a wider community to find and use the information by adding it to the enslaved: peoples of the historical slave trade database. We also enhanced the information available to visitors to oatlands with exhibits on the history of the day family who were enslaved at oatlands and helped establish one of the early post-emancipation black villages. We made the diary of elizabeth o. Carter, loudoun county, virginia, 1860-1872 available to the public for the first time. The document is now available to historians and the general public via amazon. The transcribed and annotated diary is a key source of firsthand information on the day-to-day lives and inter-connections of white and black families associated with oatlands and other grayson and carter family properties. The diary is also a unique and valuable resource for information on climate and weather, farming, events, and historic towns and villages. Historically, walled garden next to the oatlands mansion was interpreted as a 19th century vegetable garden and an early 20th century formal garden. Our extensive research into the garden's 19th century design. Plantings and management showed it was originally a formal garden. We used the research to begin restoring and reinterpreting the garden. We made our new findings and interpretation available to the public through live, guided tours.”
