Tour highlights Greenfield ties to Underground Railroad, abolitionist movement

You are here: Home / Press / Tour highlights Greenfield ties to Underground Railroad, abolitionist movement

October 11, 2021 //  by LAVA

“More than two dozen people took to the city’s streets Saturday for a walking tour highlighting local ties to the Underground Railroad and abolitionist movement.

“The tour was led by Greenfield High School history teacher Luke Martin, Greenfield High School senior Kris Bostrom and local private researcher Carol Aleman. Attendees were taken to houses and buildings on High and Main streets, as well as one final stop on Davis Street.

“Each stop on the tour represented a potential stop on the Underground Railroad — although there is scant hard evidence because of the required secrecy — or a place where prominent abolitionists spoke.”
