About
In the decades leading up to the US Civil War, abolitionists from eastern states migrated westward into the “free” Minnesota territory. Among them were those who assisted with the Underground Railroad before heading north. Join us on April 10, 2025 from 7pm - 8:30pm for a unique oral history event featuring descendants of abolitionists in our region. Sara Holger will share oral histories of the descendants of abolitionists in SE Minnesota prior to the abolition of slavery.
