5. Goodwoods history
• Goodwood was founded in 1840. From the middle of
the 19th century on families that lived at Goodwood
started leaving their furniture and paintings behind
for Goodwood to keep. Goodwood teaches children
a lot about the life of not only a white person in the
19th century but also slaves due to the kitchen and
other appliances only used by slaves. Fine furniture,
porcelain, textiles, glassware and art are all around
Goodwood for people to appreciate. Unlike most
museums Goodwood does not have anything roped
off to the public.
