Ongoing Opportunities

  • Wednesday, June 19 at 11:30 AM

On June 19 at 11:30am Monocacy National Battlefield will host a guided, 1.5-hour, 1-mile hike starting at Tour Stop 1, the Best Farm. This program will follow the journey of freedom for those who were enslaved on the farms that make up Monocacy National Battlefield. Learn about those who found freedom through escape, court rulings, and the ratification of Maryland’s constitution in 1864, as well as those who gained their freedom by enlisting in the United States military with the US Colored Troops.

This event is free to the public.
