Field & Factory: Tobacco's Laborers

To learn a fuller story of the people who worked in tobacco, join Duke Homestead staff on site for a special program, “Field & Factory: A Look at Tobacco’s Laborers.” These walks will highlight the contributions that each group of people working in tobacco made to North Carolina’s culture and powerful economy in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, while addressing the inequalities in tobacco’s labor forces.

We will depart from the visitor’s center lobby at 11:15am and 2:15pm on Saturday, September 6th, 13th, 20th, and 27nd. Admission is free.
