The current main building, an1850s Gothic Revival house, was designed by New York architect Alexander Jackson Davis. An earlier, wood-frame structure, likely the original plantation house, was built before 1800. After 1820, it was divided into a duplex and used as living quarters for enslaved people at the plantation.In 2020, the estate was purchased by Frederick Miller, a retired United States Air Force veteran. Frederick Miller, who is African-American, is the great-great-grandson of Violet and David Miller, who were both enslaved at Sharswood. His great-grandmother, Sarah Miller, was born in 1868 at Sharswood and was recorded as a member of the household in the Slave Birth Index. Miller was unaware of his ancestral connection to Sharswood at the time of his purchase. Miller and his family founded the Sharswood Foundation, a non-profit organization that supports the upkeep and historical preservation of the historic property.For more information, please see DMFAH's website at www.danvillemuseum.org or contact the the museum at info@danvillemuseum.org or 434-793-5644. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/danville/bus-transportation-from-danville-to-sharswoods-juneteenth-event/100001990042099490 - **Event Categories**: juneteenth, music, food-drinks, live-music, entertainment, nonprofit - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 7 hours - Location: Danville Museum of Fine Arts and History - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Danville - **state**: VA - **country**: United States - **location**: Danville Museum of Fine Arts and History - **lat**: 36.5809887 - **long**: -79.4000488 - **full address**: Danville Museum of Fine Arts and History, 975 Main Street, Danville, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Bus Transportation from Danville to Sharswood's Juneteenth Event - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/e42767d706808ffe5b464a2ab7daf1fb598fff8d2efaed09e381291c2f6efc89-rimg-w1200-h675-dc027a3f-gmir.jpg?v=1779320824 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Bus Transportation from Danville to Sharswood's Juneteenth Event being held? - **A:** Bus Transportation from Danville to Sharswood's Juneteenth Event takes place on Sun, 14 Jun, 2026 at 11:00 am to Sun, 14 Jun, 2026 at 06:00 pm at Danville Museum of Fine Arts and History, 975 Main Street, Danville, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Bus Transportation from Danville to Sharswood's Juneteenth Event? - **A:** Bus Transportation from Danville to Sharswood's Juneteenth Event is organized by Danville Museum of Fine Arts and History. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
