Today, the outdoor landscapes of Durham's three state historic sites resemble each other closely. Historic Stagville, Bennett Place, and Duke Homestead all have mown grass lawns, large stands of trees, and nature trails. However, none of these sites would have looked this way during the historical periods they represent. In fact, certain aspects of these landscapes actually obscure vital historical truths, and the attention to authenticity inside the buildings of these public historic sites differs considerably from the management and interpretation of the physical landscapes outside. Drawing on scholarship in cultural landscape and authenticity, as well as queer theory, I investigate how site staff manage landscapes around preserved buildings and how visitors experience these managed spaces. Through a queer landscape analytic, I seek to unsettle the constructed natural landscapes in which we learn about the past and deepen our understandings of how articulations of the past act in our present.
