Amidst the rolling hills of Baltimore County, a two-lane road cleaves the sixty-two acres that remain of a former grand estate and plantation that once covered twenty-five thousand acres.

But, as most plantations go — the horrific enslavement of humans mars the earth that helped a new nation prosper.
