Within these Protected content walls, award-winning interactive exhibits examine the lives of the Root family and their enslaved house servants.
Thoughtful exhibits, touchscreens, and public art help tell the story of the lives of the enslaved individuals who lived and labored at the Root House property prior to emancipation. Recently discovered family papers and new research into public documents are helping to give us a better understanding of the lives of these enslaved individuals. ​
