Description
John Freeman Walls Historic Site is a remarkable museum dedicated to the history of the Underground Railroad, which helped slaves escape from the US South to Canada in the 19th century.
This site tells the moving story of John Freeman Walls, a former slave who created a new life here after escaping to Canada. The site features original buildings, including a pioneer cabin and a family cemetery.
The historic complex is an important testament to the struggle for freedom and equality, allowing visitors to better understand the difficult road to the abolition of slavery in North America.
