The Royall House & Slave Quarters is pleased to be resuming its popular Holiday Shopping Day. Stop by the museum to shop for handcrafted items like tumbled shard brooches and 18th-century games, toys, and crafts. Museum bookmarks, magnets, mugs, and water bottles make great gifts. The shop also is again carrying reenactor Tammy Denease’s “Hidden Women” soaps, lovely shea butter and olive oil bar soaps with labels featuring historical characters she portrays, including Belinda Sutton and Elizabeth “Mumbet” Freeman. An assortment of fiction and nonfiction for adults and children — with several titles autographed by their authors — will appeal to history lovers of any age. New this year is the addition of raw local honey — generously donated by a friendly beekeeper — which will pair nicely with the shop’s hand-dipped beeswax candles.

All museum shop proceeds support the work of the Royall House & Slave Quarters. All visitors are asked to to please wear masks inside the museum.
