Understanding  this  rich and  complex  community  of largely  slave labor  is   a  historical,   anthropological,   and   ethnographic   undertaking of enormous magnitude.    The Carroll Park Foundation is in the process of devising a plan, which we hope will do justice to this fascinating, but neglected area of American history.     The basic components   of our  research  plan   are:
1.       To  develop  an  archive that  contains  specific  information regarding  the  institution  of slavery  and  servitude at  Carrollis Hundred
2.       To  identify key research  questions,  and actively pursue  them
3.       To develop a database as we proceed with the research
4.       In  cooperation with local  colleges  and universities,  to  develop internship  programs  in  which  students  will  be  given  research  topics that  will   further  our  understanding  of this  unique   18th-century community,  especially  as  they deepen our knowledge  of the  site's heretofore   unexplored   ethnography.
Future projects  include the  restoration  of slave  quarters  and  a spectacular  terraced  garden.   Through  these  efforts   and  our interpretive   living  history  programs,   tourists,   local   visitors,   and
