Midway Plantation slave cemetery holds the remains of many of the African-American slaves who labored on the 1000 acre Midway Plantation in the bonds of slavery during the mid-nineteenth century. By 1850, some 38 slaves toiled on the plantation, and through their efforts, Lysander McGavock’s Midway Plantation thrived and boasted of 600 acres of improved farmland and produce cash crops of corn and tobacco.
