The blue-green walls, fireplace, windows, and floor around you were once part of the estate home at Haberdeventure, a plantation owned by Thomas Stone (1743–1787) in Charles County, Maryland. In the 1920s, the Baltimore Museum of Art purchased and installed this parlor here in part because Stone was a signer of the Declaration of Independence. For nearly 100 years, the stories we told in this space emphasized the wealth and taste of white property owners during the founding years of American democracy. These walls and windows, however, also witnessed the life of Clare Thomas, as well as Charity, Ibe, Tom, and more than twenty other enslaved, Black individuals. Many white or multiracial indentured servants also lived and worked inside and just beyond these walls. Today, by using this space to display stories of enslaved, indentured, and free artists and workers, the Museum is working to tell a more inclusive story of Maryland.
