Site of the second biggest slave market. A true historical place that has not been taken care of. Very sad to see only few rocks and few information boards. This place should be honored and recognized. Finding entrance was a little tricky and I did drive through construction entrance.

History of our African American Brothers and Sisters here in Richmond. Our economy was literally built on the evils of slavery. Open your eyes. Walked where they walked.

Deeply moving historical, archaeological site. Part of the Shockoe Bottom Historic District and Memorial Park footprint representing public history of Richmonds role as 2nd largest slave trading marketplace in country through 1865. Known notoriously by 19th century Blacks and abolitionists as the Devils Half Acre for Robert Lumpkins spirit-breaking practices. Well designed, informative markers on site further development planned for 2017. Smithsonian magazine named it most important USA archaeological site of 2008. Managed by city Slave Trail Commission.
