Basil Dorsey Day Walking Tour

Please join us in celebrating the life of Basil Dorsey, a freedom seeker from Maryland who began his escape from enslavement in 1836, ultimately settling in Florence, Massachusetts in 1844. DRC Guides Kim Gerould and Kevin McQuillan will start with a short introduction in the museum, and then walk, looking at sites connected to Dorsey, the Underground Railroad, and the abolitionist and reform movements of the 1840s and 1850s.

The walk is free to the public. Donations to the Center are always welcome and appreciated. RSVP is not required but appreciated.
