This week marks the 50th anniversary of historic preservation and public stewardship at Stagville! On August 5, 1976, Liggett & Myers To***co Company donated three parcels of land to the State of North Carolina, preserving all the major historic buildings at Stagville. Preservation Durham helped make this gift possible. Later this month, we'll be revisiting some of the landmark events from the past fifty years.
