As a volunteer, you get to decide the type and extent of your participation and you interact with others of similar interests. We train you and share with you the history of the Latta family and the lifeways of the people of Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, and the Piedmont South. Research findings are available to you through newsletters and information kept at the site. A variety of tours are offered, and you can view each one so that you can find your niche.
All tours offered include the main house and the kitchen house.
Others may include the Moses Hayes cabin, outbuildings, gardens, and animals. We have patterns and catalogs available and can furnish names of seamstresses. Skills and lifeways demonstrators Latta Plantation offers many skill demonstrations to its visitors such as weaving, sewing, cooking, and woodworking. Demonstrators also dress in period costumes. Interpretations include woodworking, textile making, sewing, cooking, crafts, storytelling, and music.
