Daytrip to L'Hermitage Slave Village Archeological Site in Frederick, MD

Loyola faculty and students will travel to the preserved French Hermitage Plantation to learn more about the historic sites of slavery in Maryland, as well as their connections to France and Haiti. Faculty and students will also stop at the historic cemetery in Frederick, where several of the plantation’s former owners and their descendants are buried.
