Join us in walking approximately 4.5 miles to reflect on the thousands of miles walked by Freedom Seekers on the Underground Railroad through Iowa. We will walk and reflect on stories, learn about how they survived in this dangerous and wild landscape, and tour a house that was on the underground Railroad. Learn about other points of interest throughout Iowa. We hope to see you there!
