Conversations with the Carrolls, a student-run living history performance at the Homewood Museum, tells the story of the Carroll family and their slaves who lived in the house in the 1800s.
Charles Carroll Jr. and Harriet Chew Carroll created a dream life for themselves through their construction of Homewood. The building and unraveling of the dream they tried to realize together, at close to the age of most Hopkins undergraduates, serves as a central theme. Also integral to the story of Homewood are the parallel lives of their slaves who were part of daily life. Witness history unfold at the Homewood Museum, where scenes will take place in various rooms of the house and historical figures will come to life.
Advance registration required due to limited seating. Call 410-516-5589 or email homewoodmuseum@jhu.edu. Walk-ins will be accommodated if space is available. Performance is free.
