The slave auction block that was removed from the corner of William and Charles streets in downtown Fredericksburg last June is now on display at the Fredericksburg Area Museum.
The exhibit includes a temporary interpretation until a broader story can be told and a full display constructed, said Sara Poore, president and CEO of the museum.
The short-term display is on the first floor of the museum because at 1,600 pounds, structural engineers said the block was too heavy to be located upstairs.
It sits behind a partition tucked in the corner of the first floor so that it can only be seen if you seek it out.
