In honor of Black History Month, Pebble Hill Plantation Curator, Lori Curtis, will present a tour through the Workers’ Cemetery. The Workers’ Cemetery is the resting place for many men, women, and children who lived and worked at Pebble Hill.
n 2013, Pebble Hill reached out to Thomas University in Thomasville, GA to document the site and to map the graves in the Pebble Hill Workers' Cemetery using GIS and GPS technology. That project identified 94 named graves and about 100 marked graves without names. The oldest marked and named grave dates to 1896. This project was updated in 2021 again with the help of Thomas University’s GAPP (Geospatial Analysis Planning & Preservation) Center.The tour and presentation will include information regarding the documentation of the site and will highlight a few individuals who are distinguished in Pebble Hill’s history under the ownership of the Hanna family from 1896-1978. Preserving the cemetery was a priority of Kate Hanna Ireland Harvey, who owned Pebble Hill from 1896 to 1936.
There are a limited number of tickets available for this tour.
