Did you know the Harmar community was involved in the anti-slavery movement and was a refuge for multiracial families before the Civil War? Join us to hear the stories of the Underground Railroad leader whose local court case had national implications, a founding family’s legacy that inspired radical abolitionist John Brown to take up his cause, three free-born Muncey brothers who served as bodyguards to a Union general during their Civil War service, a highly respected man who escaped enslavement and served with the famous Iron Brigade, and more.
