Question

Why Merchant's Millpond?

Answer

Merchant’s Millpond iz close to the Great Dismal Swamp, a Holy Site for Black people, as it iz one of our known places of Maroonage. We chose this location because of our ties to this place and the proximity to Michael’s family land. The wedding will be held at Merchant’s Millpond and the reception will be held on Michael’s family land in Roduco, NC. We will also be holding ceremony at the First Landing and in GDS Proper over the weekend.

Question

Can I lyft/uber/taxi to the wedding?

Answer

You could MAYBE get a ride share there... but probably not one back from the swamp. You could MAYBE hitch a ride back on a horse and buggy. When we say that we are in the middle of nowhere, we are in the middle of nowhere. Carpooling iz HIGHLY encouraged, especially from the hotel. We do have a sign-up sheet for carpools.
