SUMMARY:Tunkhannock: Destination Freedom Underground Railroad Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Tunkhannock\nThe Endless Mountains Heritage Region has officially partnered with the Waverly Community House of Waverly\, PA to bring its Destination Freedom: Underground Railroad Walking Tours to the counties of Bradford\, Sullivan\, Susquehanna\, and Wyoming counties. \nThese tours explore the rich history of the Underground Railroad\, the abolitionist movement of the 19th century\, and the African-American community in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Destination Freedom program director\, EJ Murphy\, reached out to the EMHR in early 2025 and asked us to sponsor this expansion to our region. We immediately agreed and brought together various heritage partners like the Bradford County Historical Society\, Sullivan County Historical Society\, Susquehanna County Historical Society\, the Center for Anti-Slavery Studies (CASS) in Montrose\, and the historic Dennis Farm in Kinglsey\, which was founded 1793 by Prince Perkins\, a free African-American from Connecticut and Revolutionary War veteran whose descendants still own the 153-acre farm to this very day. \nWalking tours will begin in the summer of 2026 in Towanda\, Montrose\, Tunkhannock\, and at the Dennis Farm to highlight our region’s connections to the Underground Railroad while driving tours will begin in Sullivan County in the spring of 2027\, taking participants along the historical “Genessee Road”\, a route freedom seekers used to make their way north and escape fugitive slave hunters coming from the southern states. \nThe Waverly Community House and our heritage partners like our historical societies will be hosting the guided tours this summer and there are plenty of opportunities to learn about this fascinating history.
