Past event
Sep 16, 2018, 3 AM to 4 PM

Did QUILTS contain secret messages to help African American slaves navigate the Underground Railroad and find their way to freedom?

The answer is NOT LIKELY, yet the Quilt Code myth persists in spite of research and documentation.

Join Kate Clifford Larson, an historian and leading Harriet Tubman scholar, this Sunday 09/16 at 3pm at Rokeby Museum to explore the roots of this legend and its place in Underground Railroad history.
