Roberts:
Author and Abolitionist
While
head servant at Gore Place,
Roberts authored The
House Servant's Directory,
one of the earliest American
books on domestic service
thus becoming one of the

As
an activist in 19th century
Boston's black community, Roberts
wrote for Garrison's Liberator and supported his son, Benjamin
Franklin Roberts in his suit
to desegregate Boston's public
schools. The dramatization

On-Site Programs
This
is Gore Place!
This
program for elementary school
students enriches the classroom
study of local and state
history.
Program includes an hour mansion tour and activity, 2 20-minute hands-on workshops, and 20 minutes at the farm. The workshops and the on-site programs provide students with opportunities to explore early 19th century lifestyles at Gore Place. Through varied aspects of the program students can compare the different lifestyles of the upper class, the working class, and the farming communities—all of which co-existed at Gore Place in the early 1800s. This program has strong connections to the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks.
