Colonial Social Class
The first interesting topic I found on the website was about colonial social classes it went into detail about each social class within in that area, and about what each social class was entitled too. For instance, enslaved field hands such as field workers worked Monday through Saturday from sun up to sun down.

However, it is a reenactment of a plantation from those days. Research was completed to obtain the info needed to reenact such as people, fields, animals, buildings, and field labor. This place to me seems like it would be a fun experience to actually have hands on experience of what it was like to live in those days.
