Welcome to Horton Grove.
Horton Grove was name for the Horton family, white yeoman farmers who came down to North Carolina by way of the Old Indian Trading Path during the 1770s.  The slave cabins that we see here are atypical of the slave cabins one would see throughout the South.  These cabins were constructed under the order of Paul Cameron, after many of enslaved community were getting sick due to the horrible living conditions.  The sick slaves could not work and were costing Paul Cameron $2 a day to have a doctor come out and give aid.  Although this is not much in today's standards, this was an excessive amount at the time, especially on someone that was considered you property.  Click on the door to walk in and check out one of the rooms, or check out the fireplace.
