Slave Underground Railroad Tour of New York State

This tour has been withdrawn from sale

Discover the fascinating history of Black slavery in the USA and retrace key parts of the route taken by slaves as they escaped to freedom in the northern states and Canada. Underground in the sense of ‘secret’, the Railroad was marked by ‘stations’ along the way where fugitive slaves could call on help, run by ‘station masters’ who were a mixture of free slaves and white abolitionists.

The tour takes in some key Black History sites, and all in the company of local experts who will share with you their in-depth knowledge. But that’s not all as you’ll also see some of the best New York State has to offer in terms of scenery, including magnificent Niagara Falls, the beautiful Finger Lakes region, the tranquil Lake Erie Canal, and the Hudson Valley.

Throw in some wine tasting, the annual Pinkster Festival in Sleepy Hollow (a vibrant celebration of Black culture) and two days in buzzing New York City, and you have a fascinating journey of discovery brimming with new sights and experiences.
