| Booker T. Washington National Monument |
| Booker T. Washington National Monument is the former Burroughs Plantation. In 1850, James and Elizabeth Burroughs moved their children and a few slaves to this 207-acre tobacco farm in southwestern Virginia. The plantation cook, a female slave named Jane, would give birth to three children within the next ten years. Her middle child would simply be called Booker. Here you are able to explore the small plantation where Washington first longed for an education, pondered what freedom meant and eventually took his "first breath of freedom." |
