Learn about the courageous abolitionists, Quakers, free African Americans, clergy, and everyday residents who turned Yardley’s riverfront properties, meeting houses, and churches into lifelines of escape. From local conductors to supportive faith communities, their collective bravery—along the Delaware River and Canal—helped carry freedom seekers from Yardley to New Hope and beyond.
