This year's featured exhibition will be From Morning to Night: Domestic Service in the Gilded Age South. Developed by the Maymont Foundation, this traveling exhibition tells the story of the predominantly African American labor corps-barely a generation removed from slavery-that worked primarily in white households as cooks, maids, laundresses, nursemaids, bulters and chauffeurs.
Live entertainment,period decorations and children's activities will be offered and light refreshments will be served. Built in 1823 as the primary residence for the Bolling family, Centre Hill contains stately examples of Federal, Greek Revival and Colonial Revival architectural features as well as a wide array of furnishings and decorative arts dating from the eighteenth to the early twentieth century.
