November 1 is Emancipation Day in Maryland! For November’s Glenview Mansion|Peerless Rockville Speaker Series, Peerless Rockville is offering the Forging Freedom: Endurance, Escape, and Rockville’s Underground as a virtual presentation!

Forging Freedom: Endurance, Escape, and Rockville’s Underground Railroad is an exhibit on the story of Rockville in the era of the Underground Railroad, when slavery cast a shadow over life in this farming town, and separatist tensions steadily propelled the nation towards war. Come learn about the brave fugitives who fled slavery in Rockville, the abolitionist network that helped, and the endurance of the enslaved community.
