Hinds JR. 1968. Historic Structures Report, Part II, Historical Data: Frederick Douglass Home. Historic Structure Report. U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service
Frederick Douglass spent his life fighting for justice and equality. Born into slavery in 1818, he escaped as a young man and became a leading voice in the abolitionist movement. Douglass's legacy is preserved at Cedar Hill, as part of the Frederick Douglass National Historic Site, where he lived his last 17 years. This report recounts the history of the Cedar Hill home at Frederick Douglass National Historic Site in order to provide the context necessary to restore the home as a historic house museum interpreting the life of Frederick Douglass and his place in American history.
