A New Tidbit on Saint-Domingue

As we head into Labor Day weekend in the US, here is a new piece of information I've put on the History and the Mayfair Witches page.

I should not be surprised by this, but few plantations built by the French colonists before the Haitian Revolution survive today.  In fact, I'm finding that there aren't many ruins of those plantations to be found today.  There are some remaining, though.

In Augier, Haiti is the Musée Ogier-Fombrun, built on the site of a former sugar plantation that had been abandoned around 1804.  The architect who found the ruins of that plantation restored what was left and turned the site into a museum.

I have begun a section on the page above that will specifically be about this location.  It's possible this museum is an excellent modern day idea of what Maye Faire might have looked like...
