Join the Museum’s education team as we tour our latest exhibit, The Underground Railroad: Freedom Seekers on the B&O Railroad

Immerse yourself in the remarkable journeys of determination and resilience inside of the Museum’s latest exhibit, The Underground Railroad: Freedom Seekers on the B&O Railroad. Discover and learn about the lives and journeys of 27 individuals who sought freedom from slavery and the B&O Railroad’s connection to the Underground Railroad.

This captivating tour led by our education team will take you through the historic Mt. Clare Station – a national Underground Network to Freedom Site and the exact location through which eight Freedom Seekers, including Henry “Box” Brown and William and Ellen Craft, traveled.
