Money, Barter, and the Plantation Economy

by  Preservation Virginia

Program image

Presented by Bacon's Castle in Surry, Virginia, the oldest brick house in North America, this program will explore the financial foundations of the New World. Students will consider how the colonies made money for the mother country, who performed that labor, and how the colonists--such as the Allens of Bacon's Castle--financially and culturally interacted with each other. Additionally, this program will discuss how the plantation economy in the Virginia colony impacted connectivity with society in England. This program will incorporate primary source and material culture analysis, as well as critical thinking, connecting past to present, and evaluating change over time.
