 Hampton
offers an exceptional opportunity to learn about an important part of
American history, our aspirations, our values, and the moral choices we
have struggled with through the years.
The park preserves a vast estate from the 1700s. Its centerpiece is an
elegantly furnished Georgian mansion set amid formal gardens and shade
trees. When it was finished in 1790, Hampton was the largest house in
the United States. It is the story of a seven generation family business,
early American industry and commerce, and changing cultural tastes. It
is also the story of the economic and moral changes that made this kind
of estate life obsolete.
Most of all, Hampton
is the story of people -- enslaved African Americans, indentured servants,
hired industrial and agricultural workers, and the estate owners -- who
made this lifestyle possible.
