Come join us for a special event where we will be premiering the documentary The Underground Railroad in Metamora.
The involvement of Metamora and its surrounding community in the Underground Railroad is a significant, yet largely unknown, aspect of Central Illinois history. Prior to assuming the presidency, Abraham Lincoln defended local “conductors” from Metamora. This issue ultimately pitted neighbors versus neighbors, and the potential for financial gain from capturing freedom seekers made Metamora a dangerous place.
This documentary aims to preserve the stories of Metamora’s crucial role during this contentious period in American history for future generations.
The documentary is a production of Ten Thirty-One Pictures Foundation in association with
Metamora Association for Historic Preservation. This film was made possible from the support of Illinois Humanities.
