<strong>Visit</strong>
Montpelier, built in the 1780s, was home to the Snowdens, plantation and ironworks owners, and the 169 people they enslaved, like Catte Creek, and Ben, a blacksmith. Now a historic landmark, the museum preserves the histories of all who lived there through tours and a variety of public programs.
