Mendenhall Plantation
Mendenhall Plantation Review
A few miles northwest of High Point is the Mendenhall Plantation, a well-preserved example of 19th-century domestic architecture. As Quakers, the Mendenhalls opposed slavery, and here you can find one of the few surviving false-bottom wagons, used to help slaves escape to freedom on the Underground Railroad. Come in July, when kids can learn how to make a corn-husk doll or design a quilt square during the Village Fair.
