Abolition Road Walk

The National Abolition Hall of Fame and Museum in Peterboro, NY, is pleased to announce the Fourth Annual Abolition Walk from Canastota to Clockville, and return to Canastota, tracing the beginning footsteps of the 104 abolitionists who walked 9 steep miles from the Erie Canal to Peterboro in the middle of the night on October 21, 1835.

The sheriff-escorted Abolition Walk begins at 102 South Peterboro Street in Canastota, NY, with registration at 8:00 am, a brief program at 9:00 am, and the walk launch at 9:30 am. Walkers arrive in Clockville at about 10:30 am and return to Canastota at Erie Canal Brewing for a party at approximately noon. Folks can also ride a bus for the walk, and the bus is available for brief rests for walkers, during the 5.4 mile-round-trip trek.

To register, visit www.abolitionroad.org. Proceeds benefit the National Abolition Hall of Fame and Museum in Peterboro.

We walk rain or shine!
