How can historic house museums interpret important content when those events did not unfold on-site? Using several historic house museums as case studies, "Telling the Tales of What Didn't Happen Here" considers how–and importantly, why–to address stories of enslavement and freedom, including the ties many wealthy northerners had with slave economies, and the lived experience of formerly enslaved people and their descendants in the communities that surround these sites.
