Latta Place

What it is

From the 1970s to 2021 Latta Place operated as a living-history farm. The county states that the land was home to Indigenous peoples and to more than 65 enslaved men, women and children, as well as colonial landowners.

Mecklenburg County closed the site in 2021 and is pursuing a community-driven plan to reopen it as a place to address the legacies of a plantation economy.
