Join us at the Historic Red Brick Courthouse for a visit to our exhibit Forging Freedom: Endurance, Escape, and Rockville’s Underground Railroad. We’ll also have digital programs available for you to embark on a short self-guided tour of several nearby historic sites and local public art.
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.
