A presentation by Marj Perez.

Safe Haven Within the Circle of Farmington Friends:

Three Freedom Seeking Families, 1800 - 1865.

The Farmington Quaker Community was an integral hub in the network created to assist Freedom Seekers on the journey out of slavery. The journeys of Aaron and Betsey Brister; Anna Riggs Woodlin and her five children; and the Hanson and Eliza Waples family illustrate the important role played by this circle of Friends in the Underground Railroad.

Join us on Sunday, May 17th from 2pm to 4pm at the Macedon Academy!
