SUMMARY:Legacy: the Adairs of Westport
DESCRIPTION:For nearly one hundred years Benjamin Adair and his descendants called Westport home. Likely born into slavery in North Carolina\, Adair built a prosperous life through a series of smart investments and his association with financier Morris Ketchum. Married to Ursula Mingo of Long Island’s Shinnecock nation\, for decades Adair’s daughters became prominent educators and creatives\, yet their story and Westport Legacy was interrupted when the family lost their homestead through unfair real estate taxation. Rediscovered in 2020\, their legacy is re-explored in this exhibit built using artifacts from descendants. \nThis exhibit is included in the ticket price for visitors. It is on display until November 11\, 2023.
