]]> Join Preservation NC and Patrick Brown (Hempfinity) to talk about the past, present, and future of Oakley Grove Plantation (Littleton, Warren County), a property protected by protected covenants held by Preservation NC. Oakley Grove Plantation was built during the 1700s by former slaves and descendants of Dr. Lafayette Browne and Mary Ann Falcon Browne. At one point, Oakley Grove had 175 enslaved people who were forced to work the plantation’s 7,000 acres. One of those enslaved was Byron C. Brown, who ran away from the plantation at the end of the civil war at age 14.

Patrick, the Great Grandson of Bryon C. Brown, purchased Oakley Grove in May of 2021 and now owns the plantation that his great-grandfather once helped build and manage. Learn more about the Brown legacy at Oakley Grove and the future Patrick and his family are building at the site through Industrial Hemp farming and plans for Agritourism in honor of all the enslaved families that once lived there.

Registration is FREE, but required.
