    In observance of Black History Month in February, Linden Place Museum in Bristol, RI will host a special guided tour of Linden Place Mansion focused specifically on Bristol’s DeWolf Family and their involvement in the triangle Slave Trade. Recently featured in the PBS film “Traces of the Trade”, The DeWolf family, Bristol’s premier family in the 18th and early 19th centuries, was once one of the largest traders of slaves in New England.

     

    The guided tour will take place on Saturday, February 25th at 10:00am at historic Linden Place, the Federal-style mansion built by architect Russell Warren for George DeWolf. The tour will explore in depth Bristol’s lengthy and profitable involvement in the slave trade.
