The Underground Railroad is neither a railroad, nor underground. It was made of people – courageous, loving people who risked their lives and homes to assist fugitive slaves on the road to Freedom in Canada. People of Faith, people of Commerce, people of Power and Authority – all were involved in the operation of this clandestine route to freedom, and all were motivated by a love of Freedom.
For The Love of Freedom takes you on journey to learn more about the perils, the challenges, and the love that saw so many reach freedom. Your Guide will be Queenie Rivers – a respected and engaging historian, and an employee of the “Niagara Hotel”. The Niagara was a station on the Underground Railroad and is part of your personal exploration of the Road to Freedom. En-route, you’ll meet Bounty Hunters, Abolitionists and even characters who did not support the Underground Railroad due to Social or Economic concerns! Enjoy lunch at Murphy’s Orchards while you tour an actual Underground Railroad Safe house and escape trail, and the Castellani Art Museum Underground Railroad Interpretive Center.
All Tours start at the Spirit of Niagara Welcome Center.
Prices include lunch, Guide, Re-Enactors, Transportation and Admission to all sites of interest. Prices also include driver gratuity. Guide Gratuity is not included and can be given directly to your guide, provided the Services are of the highest quality.
