As more plantation museums across the US work to incorporate slavery into their historic interpretation, the position of plantation museums within landscapes of leisure and tourism is increasingly problematized. Heritage scholarship identifies numerous challenges to placing full and complex narratives of enslavement alongside and within the spaces of outdoor recreation and leisure that intersect with plantation museums, but few studies thus far directly address such spatial tensions. This study draws on archival research, interviews with staff and visitors, participant observation, and a novel application of emotion mapping founded in feminist geography and participatory counter-cartographies to examine historical, embodied, and landscape-level relationships between outdoor recreation and interpretations of slavery at three public plantation museums in North Carolina. After tracing the historic conditions of the relationship between plantation museums and outdoor leisure to the segregated post-WWII tourism boom, the study focuses on the present day by bringing visitor and staff perspectives together to examine how these two diverse groups experience and manage leisure and landscape in the context of racially-just public history. Findings reveal that outdoor recreation and leisure can both undermine and support ongoing public history interpretations of enslavement, depending on the positionality of the visitor, the site's relationship to outdoor recreational facilities, and the flexibility of site interpretive materials. The study further aims to crack open the concept of leisure, positioning both recreation and reparative memory work as vital co-creators of plantation museum spaces and offering the concept of reparative leisure to think through the transformative possibilities of place-based history education.
