Black History in Hampshire County

HistoricHampshire.org is endeavoring to create a resource for those studying Black History in Hampshire County. Unfortunately, little attention has been paid to the stories of Free Blacks and Slaves in our historic county or to the development of the Black Community following the Civil War. This is an on-going project, so please check back for updates. It is also a community cooperative project, so please feel free to contribute.

Projects:

Mount Pisgah Cemetery and Those Buried There

Jacob Green, Runaway Slave and His Pursuer

William Washington, Freed Slave and Land Developer
