Montpelier was not only the home of James and Dolly Madison, but also hundreds of enslaved people. They worked in the fields, stables, house and kitchen. The South Yard, where the kitchen slaves worked, is currently being restored. The third building from the left was the summer kitchen. My intent was to convey the enslaved peoples' perspective: the dark mansion in the background is intended to reflect their feeling of oppression. |
