Discover the Historic Haile Homestead at Kanapaha Plantation in Gainesville, FL—a unique historical gem where the walls speak volumes. Home to Thomas Evans and Serena Chesnut Haile, this 6,200 sq ft home, built by 56 enslaved laborers, is famous for its "Talking Walls," inscribed with over 12,500 words detailing the family's history.

Visit the Allen & Ethel Graham Visitors Center to explore the brutal truth of slavery, Reconstruction, and Jim Crow in Alachua County through engaging videos. Regular weekend tours are free, and special appointments are available for groups and weekdays.

Support our mission by becoming an HHh Inc. Member or a Historical Interpreter (Docent). We urgently need docents for training to help share this important story of the Haile family and their time in Florida.
