The Underground Railroad in Perry County On Sunday, October 24, 2010, at 2:00 p.m., The Perry Historians will host a discussion of the Underground Railroad in Perry County, Pennsylvania. The county was the scene of much action on the "Underground Railroad" between 1830 and 1863. This informal network existed to aid fugitive slaves escaping to freedom. There were at least five "stations" in the county and many "agents" or "conductors" Ms. Janet Taylor will lead a discussion of the latest findings, including how to go about locating an Underground Railroad Station. Known and possible routes through the county will be explored, including the Juniata Division of the Pennsylvania Canal. Other topics will include Methodists and Mennonites, the sea shell thank you gift, and why secrecy was so important. This is an information sharing session, so any information at all about UGRR will be greatly appreciated! The program is FREE to all and will be held in the upstairs of the Hoverter Archives. Light refreshments will be served following the program. Feel free to visit The Perry Historians' website at www.ThePerryHistorians.org for more information about the facility, holdings, services and directions to library.
