About the event

Spring Hill's 20th Annual Underground Railroad Experience
Join us for a Celebration of the Life and Lineage of the Forebearers for Freedom.

About this Event

The Underground Railroad Experience is an annual event that engages surrounding communities in learning about Massillon’s African American and Underground Railroad history during the early 1820s.

Our history comes to life with 4 performances of the award-winning and interactive play, One Stop on the Road to Freedom, inspired by local historical figures and freedom seeker narratives. An accessibility performance at 12:45 pm will be seated and both ASL interpretation and closed captioning will be provided. New this year will be reflection sessions with song and dance, soul food, West African craft making, as well as open discussions about the history and culture showcased throughout the day. Attendees can take an open-house style tour of the 1821 farmhouse and participate in various activities around the grounds. At 3:00 pm there will be an Ancestor Tree Dedication and Proclamation presented by Massillon Mayor, Jamie Slutz, and members of Spring Hill.

Tickets are sold by performance times, with an exclusive ticket available for the Ancestor Tree Dedication and Proclamation. Admission for adults is $15, students (7-17) are $10, and 6 and under are free! We hope you will join us in celebrating our 20th year of this very special event!
