SLAVE DWELLING: Located at the Vance Birthplace State Historic Site, the structure was built in the 1790s. Originally owned by the Patton family, the slave dwelling was relocated to the Weaverville property in the early 1960s. It is believed there were three slave dwellings located on the site during the Vances’ ownership of the property. Photo by Dennis Owenby
