Friends Gather Here: A Legacy of Two Communities at Woodlawn

About

Friends Gather Here: A Legacy of Two Communities at Woodlawn explores the powerful history of Quaker families who came to Woodlawn to establish an antislavery community rooted in equality and nonviolence. Through innovative farming and free labor, they sought to demonstrate an alternative to slavery in Virginia, settling alongside a small, established free Black community already living in the area.
