Description

A fence encloses three standing tabby chimneys of slave cabins, with additional tabby rubble on the ground. In the woods next to the fence is another tabby remnant. According to the Heritage Library Foundation, “The tabby used is a distinct mix containing whole clam shell in addition to the normal oyster shell aggregate.   Broken brick, glass and ceramics are also spotted in the tabby.” 

History

Established in 1762, Fish Haul Plantation gets it name from the adjoining Fish Haul Creek. It also goes by the name Drayton Plantation from owner Thomas Fenwick Drayton, a Confederate general who used his family home as his headquarters in 1861. Union forces captured the property, giving a portion of it to former slaves. The freed slaves who received some of the property formed Mitchelville, the nation’s first freedmen’s village.
