Emancipation Day Tours: Invisible Lives

Four women. Four lives. Stories too long left untold.
On Wednesday, May 20, Goodwood Museum & Gardens will present The Invisible Lives of Goodwood Tours, a series of free, guided experiences that bring to light the lives of Susan Coles, Lucy Carter, Emily Hall, and Henriatta Williams—women who lived and labored in slavery at Goodwood and whose stories are essential to understanding its history.
Through these tours, Goodwood Museum & Gardens seeks to center the lives and experiences of these women—acknowledging their resilience while offering a fuller, more honest interpretation of the site’s history.
Tours will take place at 10 a.m., 11:30 a.m., 1 p.m., and 2:30 p.m., and are free to attend in observance of Emancipation Day.
