CENTREVILLE — The Maryland Museum of Women’s History is proud to announce its first major exhibit, “Enslavement to Emancipation: Voices Not Heard,“ which will run Jan. 15 to Feb. 28, 2021. “Due to COVID-19 the exhibit will begin first as a virtual exhibit. Hopefully by this summer, it will be up in the special small building we believe was used by the enslaved farm manager during the Civil War,” said Mary Margaret Revell Goodwin, museum founder. “The exhibit will open on the weekend of Martin Luther King holiday. It will continue until the end of February for African American History Month.” The heart of the exhibit is about five major plantations that surround Centreville: Reed’s Creek, Peace and Plenty, Bloomfield, Poplar Grove and Locust Hill, and the enslaved persons who maintained the houses and the fields. The location of the Maryland Museum of Women’s History is, in fact, located on the land of one of those five plantations,
