Get a guided tour of abolitionist history in your own backyard. We’ll head first to Abolition Hall in Plymouth Meeting. This site, built in 1856, served as a major stop on the Underground Railroad and a meeting place for prominent abolitionists. Art created by descendants of the original owners is still on display today. We’ll have a full tour given by Whitemarsh Arts Center staff, who recently acquired the property. Our next stop is the Continental Tavern in Yardley. We will enjoy a full buffet lunch and hear from the owner about the amazing find of Underground Railroad tunnels beneath the tavern. We’ll watch a brief film and see artifacts uncovered at the site. Our final stop is Pennsbury Manor, William Penn’s country estate, in Morrisville, where we’ll have a guided tour of the mansion and grounds, now dedicated to preserving the history of the diverse people who lived and worked there. Travel will be by school bus.

Note: The lunch venue is up a flight of stairs and there is no elevator.

Cost includes transportation, guides, lunch, and tips.
