CREATED EQUAL: FROM BONDAGE TO FREEDOM IN JAMES CITY

On February 26, 2025, the James City Historical Society (JCHS) announced the launch of its project, "Created Equal." Developed to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, our digital exhibit features a digital archive of primary sources on the history of James City and its connections to the Declaration's assertion that "all men are created equal." The digital exhibit also features a story map, pasted below, that chronicles the history of the Trent River Settlement that became James City.
